I was wondering about what makes the primary Java compiler (javac by sun) so fast at compilation?
..as well as the C# .NET compiler from Microsoft.
I am comparing them with C++ compilers (such as G++), so maybe my question should have been, what makes C++ compilers so slow 🙂
That question was nicely answered in this one: Why does C++ compilation take so long? (as jalf pointed out in the comments section)
Basically it’s the missing modules concept of C++, and the aggressive optimization done by the compiler.
