Were you compiling Servo on a Raspberry Pi or something? 2 hours is ridiculous even for Rust.

Incremental compilation. Depending on the project you can get the edit compile cycle down to somewhere between 1 second and 5 minutes. It's nowhere near as fast as Go but it's not like anyone is actually making edits then waiting 2 hours for them to compile.
