On: Go 1.5 is released

[semiquaver]

The small increase in build times doesn't bother me at all when I'm generating a binary, but unfortunately it's very noticeable and irritating when using tools like vim-go or syntastic which type-check/lint/gofmt your code. Using these now causes vim to be unresponsive for up to a second every time I save, whereas the delay used to be insignificant.

Those tools do not use the Go compiler. They're using go/ast or go/types. So the translation of gc from C to Go can't have affected them.

They also build the source file, which is indeed much slower, to about 2x.
