Unfortunately, it isn't that simple. The example that you gave (Typescript and NodeJS) is excellent.
First of all, Typescript files are being transpiled to the ”pure” JavaScript. That process doesn't have to cover all files. Only files that have been changed have to be translated into the new language.
On the other hand, in the compilation process, we are not able to extract and compile only modified files. The compilation has to cover all files to produce a library which is being treated as the comprehensive part of the software.
I think that is the difference which causes that you and I have to wait longer for the build result.
