Just noting that a user asked a question related to this / compilation time in issue #16894.
This is one of the goals of the dyno effort to revamp the compiler. We are working on support for incremental compilation (so compilation information can be returned to the user quickly within an editor) as well as separate compilation. However, at present time, neither feature is ready for general use.
As as Chapel Programmer, I want to be able to have a Chapel application compile as fast as a similar sized C program compiled with GCC so that modern programming expectations are met.
Acceptance Criteria: User writes Chapel application. User compiles Chapel application. User waits for a similar amount of time as a C program compiled with GCC takes.
