I'd take the abstraction over compile times, but not having near-instant feedback is a huge compromise. But I've never known it to miss it.

Yeah, of course. I can see how that's a problem. :/ I recall something about Go compiling its standard lib in ~1s.
There are some things on the horizon which should make it better, but we're looking at ~2-4x improvement in total over the next 5-10 years.

Nice! Do you think it's inherit complexity in the language design, or more accidental complexity in compiler impl?
-
It's a combination of both, and both are being "fixed" in the new Dotty compiler. The rest of my ~2-4x guess is from smarter parallelism.
