I don’t understand why the need to compile fast is such a big deal. If your programming language makes you write so much code that it takes more than a few seconds to compile, you should probably look at using a different language. Here are some things that I’d like to see in a programming language that is designed for programmers rather than compilers or computers.

A good point is: "any language that makes you explicitly import an IO module to read a file or stdin is 'in trouble' (edited)".
maybe it should be hidden in a configuration file.
BUT
"why the need to compile fast is such a big deal". It allows you to use a compiled language as a script language, like on a web server or on the client side.
