Don’t know what to tell you. Just trying to keep things real in response to a highly ungrounded post. The issues with compilation times are as severe an issue because of the reason I mentioned — folks don’t like to think about how they factor their build. So some members of the core team are sympathetic to that — and for good reason.

But the virtues of shifting context to the build and refactoring it is rarely discussed and would alleviate many individuals problems. I see it rarely mentioned, just “rust is slow to compile” so I really do feel it should be discussed more; even if I could have perhaps mentioned it in a way you (and others?) would have experienced as less dismissive.
