Kind of, despite its slow builds fame, it is possible to have relative fast builds in C++ with monomorphization.
By using binary libraries, external templates for common type sets, incremental compilation and linking, and nowadays (at least for VC++ already) modules.
What Rust still lacks is having sound alternatives to LLVM, or someone supporting similar workflows in Rust.
Using OCaml as an example, it is great to have multiple backends in the box, plus an interpreter, and pick and choose during development workflows.
