Andrew Kelley talks about this and the effects he’s trying to achieve with Zig tooling.
Undoubtedly, language tooling being fast improves your ability to iterate. 1 second vs 60 seconds doesn’t “seem” like much, but when you have that speed, it becomes very difficult to give it up, and when you know it can be faster, it is incredibly frustrating when it’s slow.
