Is this saying you can actually get compile time improvements compared to the original codebase? If so I can imagine a couple of ways this could work-
1) skipping the optimization the C/C++ compilers would do, with V's direct-to-machine-code generator, and/or
2) doing some heavy lifting in the translator, so the equivalent V has more redundancy and less implicit information.
How close am I? Or is there something else here?
