@cbehopkins Unauditable code-size, more specifically.

Golang requires Golang to build.

Currently that means that Guix, in order to not accept arbitrary binary blobs from Google to build Golang, has to start from Golang 1.4 & iteratively build each following one up to the current version.

A Golang interpreter or sufficent GCC frontend (like GCCGO is intended to be) would also short-circuit that chain of builds so that one could build the final Go compiler (in Golang) directly.
