Now do it again, but include compile time and amortise across the number of executions expected for that specific build. I say this as a pretty deep rust fanatic. All languages (and runtimes, interpreters, and compilers) are tools. Different problems and approaches to solving them benefit from having a good set at your disposal. If you're building something that may only run a handful of times (which a lot of python, R, et al programs include) slow execution doesn't matter.
