Times in seconds for compiling 10,000 functions: > [https://github.com/cdunn2001/compile-times/blob/master/results/MacAir2015-10k.csv](https://github.com/cdunn2001/compile-times/blob/master/results/MacAir2015-10k.csv)
That is copied from a reddit thread nearly 2 years ago, and I've added Nim. It's not a great test -- only function calls, assignments, and bit-level operations in a single file -- but it's a data-point. (Rust is very slow, so I suppressed it.) I noticed that the nim-generated C-code compiles very quickly; nim itself is the main cost. I was wondering if anyone knows what sorts of things would compile much faster in Nim than in C++.
