Makes me think, why can't a language have both development compilation (i.e. fast, therefore, faster dev cycle, but not sacrificing developer's experience); and slow compilation (i.e. highly optimized)?

I don't think there is a reason it wouldn't be possible, it just need to be done and might have already been. I haven't tried newer language like rust, zig and the like yet so maybe one of them offer this and I don't know
