I would certainly like a compiler that was fast enough to be usable with realistically-sized codebases. I'm writing this while waiting a couple of minutes for ~10,000 lines of Haskell to compile.

Interestingly, compilation time was one of the motivations for Go.
Can you create a Haskell compiler that is faster than GHC? Probably. Can you create one that is fast? I'm much more skeptical of that.
