Rust isn't exactly famous for its fast build times. It's probably the only language that actually builds slower than C++, which is an impressive achievement on its own ;) And give Rust one or two more decades and it will be the same messy kitchen sink language as C++. If anything, Rust is speedrunning C++ history (with the notable exception of fixing static memory safety of course).
