On my phone a Rust program of significant size can take multiple hours to finish compiling, where a C program of comparable size would take about an hour or slightly less.
No reason to discard the language, for sure, and I don't avoid compiling from source even on this machine, but it's definitely worse than C.
- woodruffw 4y agoMaybe this is a silly question, but why are you compiling Rust programs on a smartphone?
- Gigachad 4y agoNot the same person, but programming on phones with Bluetooth keyboards is very common for people learning in developing countries since everyone has a phone, and many do not have a laptop.
- woodruffw 4y agoI didn't know that, thanks for the explanation! I can absolutely see slow compilations being a problem in that setting.
