Very true, but the article didn't mention a 100x slower compiler, they mentioned 100% (2x) slower one.
Technically that's a quantitative difference of degree, but it's so big as to be talking about qualitatively different developer experiences.
- com2kid 7y agoTrue, although the poster I was replying to mentioned 100x. Even at 2x, you can only 2x compile times so many times until things get unmanageable!
