How fast does Rust compi..... I better not actually.
Re: How fast does Java compile?
#5We slow our build down by having a dozen 'tools'-projects with a handful of classes each in a straight dependency-line above our main project that contains 99% of the code. This easily increases our compile time from a few seconds to several minutes. With a bonus chance to cause an infinite IDE workspace build loop.

It is compiled to Java byte code. The JVM runs the byte code.
Tokenization [1] is the process of splitting text into components called tokens. It's usually the first stage of parsing.

Huh, so for anyone interested but did not have the time to do the comparison of the two links of OP and parent post:
* java (on a cold jvm): 18.000-32.000 line per second on a single core
* java (on a hot jvm): 102.000-115.000 line per second on a single core
* golang: 28.000 line per second on 12 core

Java is compiled down to bytecode and there is a bunch that happens in the compiler to make things fast ahead of the JIT.

I think it means "compile it into bytecode", which can then be run by the Runtime.
