Not C/C++. Specifically C++. C compiles pretty fast. And it's not really a joke, though obviously it wasn't a single build they were waiting for.

I can assure that wasn't the case in our desktop software for Windows, and that already feels like trolling.
Not even Nokia NetAct took half as much, given its complexity of distributed CORBA services written in C++, nor the CERN TDAQ/HLT builds I was responsible for.
Back in 2000, our builds, C modules to be consumed by Tcl, Apache and IIS modules, DB drivers took about one hour per OS for a full platform release.
OS being Windows NT/2000, Aix, HP-UX, Solaris, Red-Hat Linux.
