People who say "Rust compiling is so slow" have never experienced what building large projects was like in the mid-1990s or so. It's totally fine. Besides, there's also https://xkcd.com/303/



Or maybe they have experienced what it was like and they don't want to go back.


Not really relevant. The benchmark is how other language toolchains perform today, not what they failed to do 30 years ago. I don't think we'd find it acceptable to go back to mid-'90s build times in other languages, so why should we be ok with it with something like Rust?
