My point is that still run circles around several AOT compiled languages, including the C++ compilers FOSS devs tend to use, let alone languages like Rust and Swift (on their current state).
I would be quite happy with the compile speed of the latest Delphi version when using Rust.
Ah yeah, but i do not think C++ or Rust are any sort of compilation speed benchmarks (though the C++ compiler used in BCB1 is very fast... for C++) :-P. Free Pascal (which is still much slower than Delphi 2 in terms of compilation speed), D, Go and i'm sure several other AOT languagesi'm forgetting right now have fast compilers.
BTW i haven't used Delphi since its use of LLVM (or it wasn't in the free version) but didn't it affect the compiler's speed?
