I had a similar conclusion about C++. C++ takes forever to compile, but C++ is truly insanely fast, its just the compilation process is insanely inefficient. Look at Go or even D (iirc with parallel compilation). It's a night and day difference. C++ is not slow, but its compilers sure as heck are. Edit: Another honorable mention, look at Delphi in its prime, millions of lines of code, compiles in under 5 minutes.
