Not to mention golang sub second compile time and all the productivity boosts coming from that

Hardly impressive for anyone that has used compiled languages with modules since the 1980's.

What is impressive, is how so many in the industry have forgotten about them.

With all these years of improving compile times why is haskell compiled time very slow still?
Incremental compilation has been a thing since the days of Smalltalk. (At least.) It's a feature of every Java IDE I've ever used. I do appreciate quick Golang builds but being able to change something in an IDE and see instantly if it compiles is a big plus of many lanugage.s
