Swift really does hit a sweet spot.
The best way I've found to mitigate the compiler speed issue is to factor my application workspace into different sub-projects, so that the sub-projects don't get built every time I make a change. It makes a huge difference and, honestly, it's something I should have been doing anyway, just for good architectural layering.
This recent project looks interesting for improving build times without having to abandon SPM: https://xccache.trinhngocthuyen.com which is a UI for managing https://github.com/trinhngocthuyen/xccache
