I still remember the day I compiled an example program that came with Borland's Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++ compilers. This program was designed to showcase Borland's text-mode user interface library called Turbo Vision, and apart from the programming language used, it ran exactly the same.
Turbo Pascal took just a few seconds to compile the example (no surprises there), but Turbo C++ took several minutes. This was back in the 90's. It seems nothing has changed since then. Sad.

That's because those languages haven't changed or only been extended.
