Interesting results, I was expecting incremental Rust to be significantly faster than incremental C++ builds.

Apparently not.

This is something Rust folks should strive to solve as a differentiator, because there is no realistic way of making incremental C++ builds faster.

I think C++20 modules are the promised golden ticket. It's 2023 and I still can't use them on Linux, though.

The incremental compiler and linker in VC++ alongside modules seems realistic enough to me.
