I wouldn't call the compile times super fast, but they were not that bad. I brought up the hot code swap thing because I did use it a lot when I was doing Java development.

The compile itself is very fast, but the build tools tend to think a bit when not hot/do some additional stuff besides building. But the actual time spent in `javac` is very short (partially because it only outputs very high level byte code)

Seems reasonable, maybe it was just my project but it took around 3 minutes to recompile + run. I guess actually starting the application took a decent time as well.

To be fair it was 10+ years ago with a pretty crappy laptop even for the time. Hot code swap was super fast though!
