Compared to C, yes. However the tradeoff you get is tighter iteration, with more errors being found at compile-time rather than having to wait for runtime. If you have to restart an embedded system or schedule a job on a cluster to properly test, that can work out to huge savings. It would still be nice to see them substantially improve. I know there’s been effort to get debug mode to build substantially faster with cranelift, but I forget if that’s in stable now.
