How does the Rust compiler's speed compare to the speed of the C compiler GCC
Is it slower
Is it slower
In practice, C++ and Rust feel pretty similar, mostly due to the kind of code people tend to write in both languages (favoring static dispatch, generics/templates, etc.).
Compilers for languages like BASIC, Delphi, Eiffel, Modula-2, Caml Light, Oberon, Clipper, COBOL, were running circles around C compilers back then.
