The first time you build, sure but that’s true for C/C++ applications too (boost command_line or applications with lots of protobufs). Overall my experience that build times on Rust are waaaaaay better than C++ all things being equal (i.e. similar level of features). And honestly the developer experience of clap I’ve found to be a lot faster to work with than equivalent libraries in TypeScript which is saying something considering the typing on Rust is a lot more strict and cumbersome to work with.
