Comment 1 for bug 1396993

I have to agree with Jussi here. The duration of the build/test cycle has a direct relationship to the amount of time it takes me to fix a bug.

It kinda feels to me like I'd want to mainly use the introspection XML format (yes I know we all hate XML), which should generate stubs that maybe use non-typesafe calls (i.e. not using metaprogramming) in order to speed up compile times.

IMO it's just good practise to base your interfaces of the XML format anyway, so that you can include it in your devel package, and then other people can use it to generate e.g. Qt / GDBus stubs at compile time. The side benefit of this compared to copying introspection from a running service is that you get compile time consistency checks.
