IF you have an M1 then sure. But bear in mind that’s 10x faster than the machines that some people are still using.
- Dowwie 4y agoI posted the parent comment. The required investment in new hardware for reasonable Rust developer experience cannot be understated. I took the poor hardware approach to software design with Rust and it came at the benefit of shorter compile times. Then, I worked with Rust monoliths that went all-in on macro-heavy libraries and felt the pain on my older workstation. It's interesting to think about the different decisions that one makes with the resources available, and constraints.
