OK sure, now write your own backend or use one other than LLVM (which one?). Now you're going to learn about a different set of tradeoffs.



Go and D made the tradeoff. And both have good compile times. Both of them have GCC and LLVM frontends as well as a homegrown one. And homegrown ones have fast compile times.

Edit: well fast compile times at the expense of optimization. But that kind of proves the point.
