- singularity2001 7y agoKotlinc takes 10 seconds to compile Hello World, 30 seconds with wasm target. Seems almost conceptually unfixable.
- pjmlp 7y agoswiftc isn't also not that blazing fast. For me Delphi, .NET Native, D are some of the targets to beat in compilation time. They all share a common trait though, not built on top of LLVM.
- skohan 7y agoI would say Rust is a better point of comparison for Swift given the emphasis both languages have on strong type systems and static analysis. Neither one is super fast, but 10 seconds for a hello world is insanely slow.
- pjmlp 7y agoAnd both are slowed down by LLVM. F#, Standard ML, OCaml and Haskell also have such strong type systems.
