It's interesting - i very frequently recompile, running tests, etc - and i just don't have a problem with Rusts compile times. Maybe you want it more immediate than i do?

The project i'm working on now takes ~8s to compile. Perhaps too slow, but i guess it just doesn't bother me. Though i definitely want to see it improve for wider adoption, as it's clearly an issue for many people - I just have difficulty feeling the pain in this case, i guess.

edit: I imagine i compile once every 5 min of code writing. Varies by problem solving of course.

Yes 8s would me too slow for me. I'd usually set up a fullstack front+backend dev that hot reloads both parts an 8s delay interrupts flow. Compare that with 1s (or less) for Go or even Java (with a lightweight framework).
