Why doesn’t Rust care more about compiler performance?

Rust’s compiler speed has doubled in three years for some benchmarks. Remarkably efficient. But its intricate architecture still wrestles with progress. Stability hogs the spotlight, and new features waltz in, leaving optimizations to grab scraps. Volunteers—Rust’s lifeblood—fuel much of its growth. They crave evolution. Unfortunately, faster builds might require tossing old ways and betting on bold, sweeping changes. Stay tuned.
