Wasn't the point of modules to decrease compilation/build times?

  Some claim this, but I haven't seen it play out this way yet in what I have seen for modules; it could be that people are hyper-optimizing for serial performance when the future (and present!) is parallel? If so, :(. This article is possibly out of date--or maybe was wrong to begin with--but it shows how the modules concept from earlier this year simply broke parallel build efforts by enforcing a ton of serial dependencies. https://vector-of-bool.github.io/2019/01/27/modules-doa.html https://vector-of-bool.github.io/2019/01/27/modules-doa.html

    I have also seen this. My guess is that it highlights more that there are way too many dependencies in the libraries being used and that those dependencies aren't organized well.
