Why do you think that? Seems like Rust is a great choice for this type of high performance work.
- ncmncm 7y agoRust does best when the number of lines of code that must be parsed in an edit-compile-test loop is small. When the sources that must be parsed get large, coders suffer. It is doubtful that this will improve, much, without breaking changes to the language. The range of code over which type inference operates, or at least programmers' reliance on it, would need to contract by quite a lot. There would be Complaints.
- steveklabnik 7y agoType inference only operates within function bodies. It's also not the thing that causes compilation to be slow.
