oh come on. I can get a full build of qt5's main libraries (core, gui, widgets, network, xml, etc) in 15 minutes on my laptop. It took an hour a few years ago. Compilers are getting faster all the time.
While it still is definitely worse than other compiled languages, using pre-compiled headers, with incremental compilation, incremental linking does help a lot.
And making use of binary libraries as well.
Eventually with C++20 modules the situation will improve, and maybe by 2025, those that still care might finally enjoy Delphi compile times with C++.
