I think that's true, but only because of the slow compile times. Which is why they're so frustrating. Rust would otherwise be an excellent language for these use-cases.

I see where you're coming from. The good news is that compile times are something we are certain will get better. Rust's maintainers know it's a high priority, but even if they didn't, we would still benefit from increasingly powerful machines used for graphics/gaming development.
