>And people wonder why C++ programs compile so slowly.

People have been aware of this problem for some time. It's one of the reasons the C++ community is trying to develop a proper module system (or was the last time I checked, which was a while back).

By the time C++ has a working module system it will be as relevant as Fortran is now.

There's an experimental module system already in Visual C++, and I think in clang as well. It will be in the 2019 standard at the very latest.

I like Rust and all, but C++ isn't going away in the next three years.
