Java, Go, OCaml, Typescript (>=3.9) are in their own league when it comes to compilation speed.

If anyone wants to check fast compile times try Delphi, RAD Studio has community edition which is amazing. It feels like it compiles while you type :)

I expect anything that has a little Pascal inside to be blazing fast.

And they have already added generics to Pascal

It really makes Go look like a joke

The features I like about Go do not overlap with the ones of Pascal. But yes, it makes Go look underdeveloped in that department.

  1. OCaml
  2. Go
  3. Java
  ...
  999. TypeScript (any version)
The TypeScript team should consider rewriting the type checker in Rust or Go IMO. It's free, they can do what they want, but the performance is really not good (compared to what it could be) and affects a lot of people.
