Interesting, is this common on windows? On Linux I've never seen precompiled C++ libraries (at least not these with templates) back when I compiled stuff more often (read: back when I used gentoo). Do g++ and clang++ support precompiled libraries in the general case? I suppose C++ modules might make it more common anyway, but I don't see why rust couldn't do it if they ever prioritize it.

The distro takes care of it and you just yum / apt-get / whatever the lib and then compile the code you typed in. Template libs will slow down your compile times but there is still a lib boost.so etc sitting around.
