I may be an old-timer and I typed my code into CP/M on a text-only display starting circa 1983 or so. I had to compile the code too and guess what ... it was fast! But when you've only got 64K RAM there's a limit to how sophisticated a program can be. And when you're writing the type of tools we could write back then, your compilation cycles would be fast too. Would I go back? Some of my CSS files are bigger than the hand-coded assembly language programs I wrote back then but I still love what computing has become. Many facets of today's systems seem almost unimaginable (except that I was an avid sci-fi reader). So I'll join you in demanding a fast machine so that I'm not waiting for code to compile. And who knows what we'll be building in another 30 years?
