From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Right, you basically have to start building a rube goldberg machine for compiling your app just so you don't have to wait for minutes on end. And to me it is absolutely bananas that you can make a compiler this slow on modern hardware. Coming from largely working with Clojure where I have a live application I can interactively load code into as I edit it, this whole process feels insane.
