FWIW, IME at least Nim isn't particularly fast when building, at least when compared to C projects. E.g. in the sokol-nim bindings I'm seeing build timings like:

    32743 lines; 0.953s
...building 32k lines of code in a second really isn't fast on an M1 Mac, and that's for a debug build without optimization.

Depends on which compilation pipeline, I would say.

I mean Nim just compiles to C or C++, so it's bound to be slower
