What are they doing? Even my worse compile time abstraction was
O(n^2) or maybe some awful string concatenation of an entire
file; still effectively instant
Wheres a 1000 line file that does something meta programmingly
useful that takes 5 minutes?
Do they lose track of what the compiler is even doing? Do they
turn off the template recursion depth limit?
No idea. Maybe they should use shell + awk + sed more. This is
how chads generate code **blazingly** fast.
