You are assuming that it is necessary to take many minutes and GBs of RAM to compile haskell code. There is no reason to believe that is so. Especially since other haskell compilers are much faster. It is 100% certain that GHC contains at least one memory leak that has been unaddressed for years. Simply put, absolutely nobody has put any effort into making GHC fast. Only into making it produce fast output. Ocaml gives you 90% of the benefits of haskell with 10% of the compile time (actually faster than that, but close enough). |

That's clearly a problem.

OTOH, as annoying as it may be to developers, on the assumption that code will be run more frequently than it will be built, that seems like priorities being in the right place.
