It disappoints me how unseriously the industry has taken compilation speed for so long. I'm glad to see Zig doing incredibly valuable, high-impact work here.

Well, I remember back in the day Java was winning a lot of love from C++ devs over its much-much faster compilation than C++. It was important, even 15+ years ago. People praised faster iteration time while coding.
Yes, we get people amazed to rediscover Modula-2, Object Pascal compiler execution speed.
Golang's reason for existence is pretty much compilation speed.
