- faster compilation times

- smaller binaries

good job.

Faster compared to 1.6, still much slower than 1.4.

C is still the king of speed.

[pjmlp → placeybordeaux]

Not when compared with languages that have modules.

In 2000 I worked on a project where "make clean all" would take 1 hour per platform/build type.

Oh I meant in execution, not build time.

Similarly, I remember the days when junior Assembly programmers were able to outperform C compilers for home computers.
