> The only problem is that the compiler is very slow now, so it doesn't scale to large code bases

The way of working with that is use cargo check command which is much faster and splitting your problem into multiple crates so you don't have everything in one giant project. Which is what tends to happen in large code bases anyway.

Also they are putting quite a lot of work into making it faster. Before you get to that large code base it will be better.

A single repo can have lots of crates
