Outside a synthetic benchmark:

  * Gradle compiling 100,000 lines of Java at ~5,600 lines/s
  * Maven compiling 500,000 lines of Java at ~5,100 lines/s
  * Mill compiling at ~25,000 lines/s on both the above whole-project benchmarks

Again not to put Java down but have a proper discussion about compiler speeds. I'm not interested in "your" tool is faster than "my" tool, I want to understand compilation speeds of different programming languages and what impacts them. Java and Go have similiar execution speeds + similar simple type systems, no implicits etc, so they should be similar.

Of course beside the obvious, comparing compilation speeds on two totally different CPUs and machines. Do we compare compilers or machines?
