>It's super weird to me that C++, with this whacky 1970s constraint that totally fucks up modularity, still builds neck-and-neck or better with Rust. Not so fast! The compilation and linking is neck and neck with Rust so you can have an ELF in the same amount of time. But then you have to run all the C++ tools you mentioned to have parity with what the Rust compiler is doing. > for all the talk about C++20 modules they haven't delivered yet. Even when they're delivered, will all the libraries you depend on use them? >In principle Rust could do way better on this, and that is a feature that might get me to consider Rust seriously, no matter how stupid I think the borrow checker is. But Rust still compiles dog slow... The team that built the Borrow Checker deserves the Turing Award. It is an outstanding bit of computer science and engineering. I'm surprised that you think it's stupid. It used to be dog slow but it's gotten very fast in the past two years. Another achievement. >In principle Rust could do way better on this, and that is a feature that might get me to consider Rust seriously Modules? Your take away from all this is that modules are the killer feature of Rust and that the Borrow Checker is stupid? I call shenanigans. You are an elaborate troll. Well done for getting two responses out of me.
