~Zero build time Python vs 20 min for Rust web app
My favorite improvement example was something a bit of a slog was taking 20 minutes in python, I told the agent to rewrite it in rust and the result was 300,000 times faster... 20 minutes to ones of milliseconds.

My experience has been that rust is significantly slower to compile than C++, by the way
