Well, what is the point in this comparison then? I'm not trying to say Rust is the fastest compiler on the planet, but really people don't even try to be object

- majewsky 8y agoIf you're comparing, say, a 10 KLOC C++ program vs. a 10 KLOC Rust program, then the comparison is fair IMO. The end user doesn't care whether Rust chooses a different compilation strategy for dependencies.
- EugeneOZ 8y agoEnd users run "cargo clean" really rare (I can't even name examples - really rare). If we compare regular compilation in C++, then we should take regular compilation in Rust, not something exceptional.
