Overall I am okay with slower build times. Its a tradeoff for the deep analysis while building. Its like using C and complaining that C is too low level... but that is probably just my opinion only.

I recently started learning rust, and one of the things I liked was the quick build times after small changes. I did not know how bad it can get until I read this article, but I haven't tried anything besides terminal applications so far.
While I used some workarounds from my baggage using C/C++ it is nice to know other techniques people use with Rust, and it is nice to learn about Rust profiling tools as well.
Thanks for sharing, it is a very insightful article.
