> It has incremental compilation, in-place binary patching, the ability to use code before declaration in a file, compile-time code execution, and extremely low compile times. Rust itself doesn't have most of those.

Rust has all of those except in place binary patching and fast compile times.

Rust's "compile-time code execution" is a horrendously complex joke, and it's compile times are so atrociously long that the lack of those two things you mentioned is even worse than in a language like C (with somewhat-sane compilation speed).
