I've seen three outages at various orgs that were prolonged due to compile times. In these cases it was a root contributor to missing RTO. The compile times are a liability.

One proposal I came across actually suggested breaking up a perfectly fine monolith into a dozen microservices to reduce compile times (at the cost of cumulative CI costs going up).

When the alternative is massively rearchitecting your systems, Zig and Go begin to look really nice by comparison.
