These days most of my work is in Python, with some Terraform and shell scripting thrown in. In 2019 I was working on JVM projects: both Clojure and Kotlin. The JVM build tooling is painful, even on a very powerful machine.

This seems to have gotten much better for me. It sucked for a while with the introduction of the M1, but it seems to have gotten back to about where it was, even when using x86_64 containers.
I've been playing with aarch64 containers on my personal M1, and they seem to be significantly faster. I'm expecting (and looking forward to) ARM making big inroads into the SaaS hosting arena. It seems like it would have significant benefits in terms of power consumption at the datacenter level, and with more and more developers moving to ARM (via Apple Silicon), it will only get easier to develop for.
