How to speed up the Rust compiler in August 2023

I don't think the compile times of Go can be even compared with Rust or any major compiled language.

It does compile extremely quickly; Rust on the other end lies completely opposite on that spectrum IMO.

Although, both languages are "modern", both have their pros & cons.

Although this may sound like a pink elephant, but I would really want something that has the guard-rails, expresiveness & performance of Rust with the simplicity & compile-time speed of Go.

Go is not modern and has never been modern. It's an old language that just happened to be designed and implemented recently.

You are looking at only the language, you should also evaluate the toolchain and runtime. Go has a toolchain that most other languages (including Rust) can only dream of.

This is basically OCaml.

Sure, thanks for the tip.

I will take a look :)

Ocaml fan here but don’t expect crazy productiveness as you’d find yourself in Go unless you know fp and aren’t doing a lot of web dev.
