Rust is only fast compared to C++ (and then only sometimes). Literally every other language is significantly faster to compile. I'm hoping this can change though. Rust with fast compile times and a more complete library ecosystem (and ideally better IDE support) would be an incredibly productive language.

Scala is slower to compile than C++ in large scale enterprise development. (The exception that proves the rule?)

Ah, I forgot about Scala. Someone below mentioned Haskell too (which I haven't used). Still, calling Rust fast seems wrong to me!

Compared with C++, Scala projects are not slow to compile when you use Gradle multi-project builds (with granular sub-projects) and Gradle build caching.
