This much complexity and the tribal knowledge required to bypass it, so early in the the life of a programming language, is a really bad sign.
It means the complexity of the problem space is not solved by the language, and the responsibility of solving it is being passed on to the users.
You might react to this by saying that slow build times are not a big deal. That's a mistake -- iteration is key to productivity and other languages do it better.
