Nice to see a language take developer UX seriously and focus on good compilation times. I wish this was more common.

Fast compilation is undoubtedly more essential in the Lisp paradigm of REPL-driven, interactive programming with S-expressions than in other languages. A pre-requisite perhaps for the world to 'Stop Writing Dead Programs' [0]

Fast compilation is needed in all languages.

Nothing is as annoying as waiting 5-15min for compilation of c++ code
