I just wish Rust itself compiled faster. Serde, proc macros, it's all so slow.

I'm going to start prototyping systems in Go, then porting them to Rust when they're more concrete.

I feel as though the Rust code LLMs emit is generally higher quality than most other languages, perhaps due to the error handling being a chief concern of the language, but the iteration on making changes and running tests is so slow.

Rust could grow into "the final language" if it wasn't so slow to compile. Assuming the WASM bridge also continues to improve.
