Hi,
The build includes not only all of LLVM, but Clang as well.
Sorry if this is something obvious, but why is clang *needed* for Rust?
Without looking into the makefiles (so this really is nothing more than
a guess): rust calls llvm's

Aren't the second and third builds for sanity-checking purpose? Surely

For those folks we might as well distribute only the binaries. Zero

Regardless of all that, yes, the Rust compiler *is* slower than the Go
compiler. Not a factor 25, when you make a fair comparison, but still
quite a lot slower.
This has two reasons. Firstly, the Go language has partially been
designed with compiler speed in mind. It is a simple language,
What Brian wrote looks
about right to me. I don't think any of the deriving ideas we had
discussed could accommodate that particular example, though clearly it's
not hard to imagine how one might do so. Or perhaps use a macro.
