If you want crazy fast build times, then D is your best bet [1]. D's compile times are faster than most other languages (I'm not counting Vox, it's too experimental).

Wow you're not joking... `dmd` is around 40x faster than `rustc` and 16x faster than `zig`! How the hell they've done it?
Check Zig again once the self-hosted compiler is completed :)
Will that remove the dependency on LLVM?
