Having a slow compilation time makes it no where close.

Slow compile times can reduce productivity.

Yeah, compile times can be rough!

Maybe they're not using a language with insanely bloated compile times?

"Compile times must be fast"

Fast compilation is needed in all languages.Nothing is as annoying as waiting 5-15min for compilation of c++ code

What're compile times like?

dschulz • Mar 9, 2023 • View on HN

unfortunately, compilation times are not so good.

tmtvl • Dec 18, 2022 • View on HN

Yeah, fast compilation (like C has) helps.

Does the compilation time bother anyone?
