Ah, yes, I must be a C++ advocate who has never used a “modern JIT language.” I’ve actually been using them since before the term “JIT” was in common use, just like I used C++ before it had templates or exceptions. Incremental compile time on the order of a minute should not a big deal in a project. How would someone who can’t handle that have fared in our industry 30 years ago? Yes, faster compiles are nice, but they aren’t what will ultimately limit you unless you have an untreated medical condition.
