Until Rust gets the compilation story sorted out, what you save on the computer center gets spent in developer workstations.

Do you mean compile time?

um, that cat is already out of the bag. unless you work on mobile or web frontend most backends are big, ugly, have a lot of dependencies, running them needs ALL the RAM anyway :)

C++ is slow as well.

True, except the tiny detail that the usage of binary libraries is common in C++ culture.

Building from scratch Gentoo style not so much.

I seldom compile third party dependencies.

You don't recompile those every time.

Indeed, only every time I checkout something from github, update cargo dependencies or switch worspace.

I would not use Gentoo if I had to compile the world to, say, update PHP.
