There are plenty of native languages that compile Go fast, unfortunely the scripting language revolution, and too much focus on C and C++ tooling kind of messed it all up.

Rob Pike even has a talk about how fast ALGOL compilers used to take, naturally one needs to take into account the additional issue with reading punch cards, but still quite fast for early 1960's hardware.

Or Object Pascal and Modula-2 compilers in the early 1990's.

Eventually we (as in industry) started focusing on the wrong points.
