it can get even better if you properly modularize your

Yes, sure. You can probably get the same build speeds as with C
if you organize your code in a particular way or shy away from
certain patterns.
What I was talking about was the language, meaning that you
don't write your code to give a boost in compilation speed.
Clearly possible, but if you use third party frameworks… then
you're out of luck.
An analogy: SQL isn't particularly expressive, but the
limitations of the language makes it possible to execute it
bottom-up. NOSQL engines are even less expressive, but can be
even more easily distributed.
ah yes, those famous fast C build times.
Excuse me while I go take half an hour to build GDB.
