Thank you for reminding me about compilation time.
Now I won't be tempted to go back from scripting language country for a few more years... :-)
Edit: I should add that I have very fond memories about my youth and C, too.
- ido 17y agoC++ compiles much slower than many other popular compiled languages, and the more of its "fancy" features you use the slower it compiles. C & Java for example both compile much faster than c++.
- mrkurt 17y agoMost sane projects I've experienced do "builds" even with scripting languages. It's every bit as much of an annoyance to have a bunch of needlessly slow tests as it is to deal with slow compile times.
- berntb 17y agoOK, a point; the pain with compiling languages is the compile cycle where you edit-and-run just local tests, not for the whole system.
