Congrats, fast compile speed is a requirement nowadays, any language that is slow to compile puts you at a risk of not being able to fix important prod issues quick enough, hence why i use Go for my backend, i can't imagine using anything else

Tests, deployment, up to restarting the service in prod, the language should empower me to not loose time

I'm not talking about memory bugs, i'm talking about typo issues, API issues, comment/uncomment, renaming, missing a semicolon (that one should go imo), refactoring etc, a fast compiler allows me to be more productive

Having to recompile due to typos is the main contributor of wasting my time, if it takes 10+ seconds, then the language sucks, it should be instant up to 1 second

Glad that you understand that and you made sure you built the foundation that enables it, that's game changer



Single biggest reason I don't start new rust projects
