But desktop C++ isn't difficult or slow to write...It seems odd to me that the software world has gone in the direction of "quick to write - slow to run".

Comment on: Zig's Incremental Compilation Internals
If it's better, what stops other languages from using it?> GC programs can be faster than manually managed ones in some cases.I've seen poorly written programs in C/C++/Rust which are slow because they allocate millions

Cmake spend 15 seconds to generate this project? I find it unlikely build2 is doing the same work as cmake is. Now I will grant cmake is single threaded and slow, so there is a lot of room to do the things it does better (the language sucks, and is part of what forces single threaded). It also wouldn't surprise me if cmake is doing things that are not really needed (odds are the default compiler works - most of the time it isn't valuable to check the version)
