I think you have to be updated. Rust has had success in countless places after Firefox/Dropbox.
With that being said fast compilation times are amazing and must be a default in new languages. If not they should follow an approach like Dart where there is a VM for development and also a AOT compilation support for producing binaries.
- nindalf 6y agoThere’s ongoing work for a fast debug back end called Cranelift. It emits code 20-50% faster than LLVM while being less optimised. Explained further here - https://jason-williams.co.uk/a-possible-new-backend-for-rust https://jason-williams.co.uk/a-possible-new-backend-for-rust
- vijaybritto 6y agoYes, I have read about this. I follow Rust very closely. This is a good trade off while developing for speed.
- crazypython 6y agoD has a fast backend that omits assembly- it's DMD.
- jdxcode 6y agoI didn't imply in the slightest those are the only success stories
