You could also just pick something like Nim (https://nim-lang.org) if you wanted to hit the intersection of low effort, script-style programming with the addition of types and performance.

Did Nim compile times improve? I wrote a production project in it which was about 50k loc and I spent most time waiting for compilation.

I just checked out and built the Nim compiler + stdlib itself.

real: 161.26s (including the GCC bootstrap stage).

cloc reports 253500 lines of Nim in the project.

This was on a Ryzen 7 3700x @ 3.6GHz.

Re-running it immediately after (does not build the GCC bootstrap stage)

real 22.55s
