Back then end of 80ies on IBM Main Frame changes to CPG (a German RPG derivate for "Transaction-Programming") CICS programs always needed 45-60 minutes of "compilation". No syntax-checking in the editor, so you had to be very thorough. Many years later when switching to Visual Basic for small applications my development style really degraded quickly into this hit-F5-and-see.
