Curious: when building software, especially mission critical software, why are things like time, space, memory, and CPU at build time a concern? The concerns that usually surface for me are reliability, and performance (time, space, memory, CUP) of the resulting binary at run time. What you mention is kinda the core tradeoff. With Rust, you pay for high reliability and performance by spending cycles at compile time to ensure as much. Cloudflare certainly isn't looking to ship a new sexy live-reloaded and written in 30 minutes nodejs app to production 12 times a day. Plus I'm sure CF has some beastly build infrastructure.
