Rust 1.58 has a bug that introduced a compile time regression, and the knowledge required to bypass it is to just switch to the preview of the next release, which is trivial to set up.

So I really don’t know what you are talking about in your comment. What’s hard about this?

Do you mean 1.57?

As soon as I saw the final binary taking an ungodly amount of time I knew what it was going to be, because I hit it myself, in 1.57, using warp.

Though there are also a few separate older regressions (at least one in 1.56, though I gather somewhat less critical / troublesome).

Switching to the previous tends to be more reliable and a better idea, really.
