With all the recent improvements to compilation speed (nightly, cranelift, mold-linker), Rust has become much more pleasant. Trivial and incremental changes to a medium sized crate like rust-analyzer (~200k loc) takes around 2.5s and a small Axum project takes around 0.5s.
These are my very subjective hobby benchmarks running archlinux on an AMD 9 7940HS.
Of course the initial build or the release build take much longer, but it makes me hopeful for the future.
