If by other languages you mean C++, C++ compile times are a huge turnoff for me, especially when I know that the work that theoretically needs to be done to compile a small incremental change is almost zero. Rust, which has actual modules, should be much faster to compile, not slower. Just my two cents. Of course, I don't know whether you're actually talking about C++; without experience compiling large Rust codebases, the only number I've gotten to know is rustc being about 4 times slower to compile an empty crate than clang for an empty c file (even if the latter has some standard #includes), but that's mostly unrelated. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
