Some anecdata: I'm working on a 100k+ LOC Swift project and I can confirm, compilation is a dog and much of my day is spent getting myself back on track after waiting for compiles to finish.
That said, I'm in love with the language and I'd rather wait for a compile to finish than have a server blow up because of a null pointer exception. After working on a large Python backend, it's been really nice having a compiler to watch my back.
