Because after waiting for 10+ minutes for a project to build in Android Studio, something like Go feels like a godsend. Also, you’re implying that quicker is worse when it comes to compilers and Golang, which is definitely not the case, and Go’s compiler produces very well optimized executables.
I 100% think it would. Android Studio is hot garbage. Not just the compiler, but the whole build process.

The reasons why Android Studio can’t achieve similar speeds are plenty, but here are some:
