It also compilers way faster than C++ code if that interests you :-)

I agree, C++ code compilation is generally slower compared to C. But the compiler itself isn't particularity slower (under the hood it's the same compiler), but compiling C++ code with a lot of templates is slow.

For me personally compilation slowdown is just a price, which I am ready to pay for more language features, including better abstractions and type safety.
