I think there's a different kind of "plenty fast" that more closely aligns with "as fast as it can be." If you develop some code that runs at 90% of the theoretical throughput, I'd call that plenty fast, even if the theoretical wait time was 100s of seconds. The rust compiler does a lot of stuff that simpler languages don't do. I would accept that level of checking to take longer while still being considered "plenty fast". Making that argument would require some serious benchmarking of the rust compiler though.
