I compile a few hundred thousand lines of c++ in “minutes”… it’s sad to see the state of the ecosystem be actually slower than languages that have a reputation

- dgb23 2y agoOk, but C++ is a compiled language. Even though compilation speed doesn’t need to be that slow, at least you’re getting something out of it. JS is interpreted and JITed. The whole point of using it is having a very fast feedback loop. The tradeoff should be: faster at dev, slower at runtime. There’s something fundamentally wrong if that premise is broken. Actually it’s insane that we need build steps with any noticeable delay during dev time at all.
