Doesn't that depend on the size of the compiler? Nim can surely be faster than all of them, but that particular figure can't mean anything.

The Nim compiler is pretty big.

So what? You are not comparing the same thing.

Of course not. But what else would you want to compare?

Lines of code per second for compiling the compiler. Or a standardized set of programs like language benchmark game. Not to say that they are not susceptible to problems, but they have much more information than the compiler compilation speed.
