As much as I like Rust, I have to say that it's not advancing a compelling argument for "fast compilers with complex types" (which isn't to say I don't think it can be done, just that Rust is by no means fast at compiling, and really only gets away with the slowness it has because its main competition still lacks a proper module system).

Rust's type system has nothing to do with any slowness in its compiler. There's a `time-passes` flag that you can pass to the compiler to see where it spends its time compiling any given program. Do so and you'll see that the overwhelming majority of Rust's compilation time is spent inside LLVM generating code.
