Sorry bud.
Neither of our opinions make someone else's opinion false.
- Rust may have felt easier for you or some, but certainly not everyone or even most. It might be worth it, but it's not an easy on ramp for many.
- Excuses for slow compile times don't make compile times faster.
- That's why I said "feel." There are warm fuzzy and cold prickly human things in here. Studies that pretend at measuring something we all know cannot be measured are summarily dismissed.
- More excuses do not make a statement false. Rust compile times are some of the slowest I have seen in >25 years of development.
Again, the trade-offs work for many people and orgs. That's great!
That doesn't make them disappear or become, "false."
It's precisely this tone and attitude (that is so prevalent in the community) that keeps so many of us away.
