No. My experience is that Rust compile times are pretty reasonable compared to typical C++ projects (and it's often an apples-to-oranges comparison: an initial Cargo build does a lot more, building all your dependencies in the configuration that you want, rather than using prebuilt binary dependencies as is common in the C/C++ world). To be honest, I don't really understand the self-flagellation in the Rust community about compile times.

I believe the two main factor are the fact that: - many Rust users come from languages with a faster writing->running cycle (there is a surprising number of Python users starting to use Rust) - Rust takes prides in its speed, if something is slow it is thus seen as a failure that should be fixed (even if it has perfectly reasonable reasons to be slow)
