I also hold the opinion that it's much easier to learn programming if you can get feedback from the compiler in a few seconds or minutes as opposed to waiting two weeks between each compile.

But seriously, short feedback loops facilitate learning, and if this shortens the feedback loop, then I'm exited about it.
