Not sure if you dropped a "/s".
In my experience, C++ template usage will always expand until all reasonably available compile time is consumed.
Rust doesn't have C++'s header/implementation separation, so it's easy to accidentally write overly generic code. In C++ you'd maybe notice "do I really want to put all of this in the header?", but in Rust your compile times just suffer silently.
On the other hand, C++'s lack of a standardized build system led to the popularity of header-only libraries, which are even worse for compile times.
