I'm sorry but, "bwahahahha". C++ build and test times at Google are astronomical. It's one of the reasons go exists: they built it to compile and link faster.

If a minute to build and link half a million lines of C++ is “astronomical”, then sure. Try to build that on your local box, then get back to me. Go exists solely because Rob Pike had nothing better to do, and a lot of googlers hate Java.

Yeah, I actually build locally. It takes a while up front (about half an hour) to build Hello World but incrementals are fast.
