IIRC go wasn't that fast but can feel like it in vscode. IIRC vscode compiles go using the lsp which is faster than launching a process because for some reason, vscode stalls for a second or more before launching a process.
I can't remember how fast D was but iirc it was fairly fast. Actual fastest is my compiler which I don't work on anymore and isn't ready for production. It's the only compiler I know of that hit millions of lines <1s in a non trivial language https://bolinlang.com/
Not every compiled language has a de facto standard compiler, but with SBCL Common Lisp compiles pretty quickly. The Pascals (and Delphi) also tend to have rather fast compile times. I believe Jai is supposed to compile quickly but I'm not in the beta so I don't know. C can be quite good if you know what you're doing and use a decent compiler.

I should really have specified fast compiling implementations.
It does make me wonder why Pascal never became more popular. Fast compiling is a big advantage.
nothings faster than turbo pascal
Nim compiles fast.
Rust can be up there with C depending on the project.
is that a joke?
Any language can be, depending on the project. Rust compile is slower than C, on more than average. That's it.
