javac doesn't really do a whole lot. Consequently, whatever compile time you are complaining about would be worse with any other compiled language. Most optimization work in Java happens at runtime.

First of all I am not complaining about anything.

Secondly, there are several ways how Java source code becomes machine code, depending on which JVM and JDK is being used, not taking into account the ART cousin.
