This was a big reason for dart canceling its previous macros attempt (as I understand it). Fast compilation is integral for Flutter development - which accounts for a late percentage of dart usage - so after IIRC more than two years of developing it they still ended up not going through with that iteration of macros because it would make hot reload too slow. That degree of level-headedness and consideration is worthy of respect IMO.
Dart is a meh language but their focus on hot reload single handedly made it worth it's existence.
