Lots of languages have fantastic compile speed, they've just decided to have their compilers do a lot more work.

You can argue that fast compilation IS a feature and that new language options should be evaluated, but it's unfair to say it's "not a priority" even for languages like Scala.

This. Compiling C++ would be a lot faster if you made the developer manually expand all the templates into tedious boilerplate before starting the compiler, but it's not a good tradeoff to make.
