This. Since Rust C++ has lost it's appeal for me. It used to have the good balance of performance/effort, but nowadays I wouldn't dare starting a new project using C++. Even LLMs are way better at coding in Rust.

Not a troll question, because I am thinking of starting a fairly chunky project in Rust, potentially around 500k LOC. Are compile times really as bad as people suggest, in Rust? I'll be going agentic development, so it will be iterating a lot.
