The Rust ecosystem has long downplayed the importance of compile times. Many foundational crates, serde for example, contribute much more to compile times than they need to. I spent a long time reinventing many foundational rust crates for my game engine, and I proved its possible to attain similar features in a fraction of the compile time, but it’s a losing battle to forgo most of the ecosystem.
