My problem with Rust is that compilation is too slow, as is downloading the gazillion crates needed to go anywhere. When I heard it was going to replace C I was expecting similar build times, but in reality Rust builds much slower than C++. With C/C++ (and CMake + Ninja) it seemed we were finally getting to a point where incremental builds would complete before hitting the 400ms attention span "Doherty Threshold", and now it seems we are going back to the days of having to spend our time sword-fighting (xkcd) during slow builds.
