The part which describes the development of Turbo is really cool. It shows off the value of having an interactive development setup that allows for fast and intuitive iteration.

As a Googler I'm surprised to see such an interface internally. Google systems have notoriously slow compile and test speeds for simple things (because the systems are optimized for very large projects). I think the difference between 500ms compilation and 10ms compilation is actually enormous.

Indeed, it's a bit 'against the grain', but definitely possible and the advantage is obvious.
