It's one reason I prefer lighter languages for NIF's. My personal preference is to use Nim and Nimler [1]. It generally compiles quicker than Rust while providing most of the same benefits. To be fair compiling a small Rust library doesn't take too much time. Especially compared to the performance numbers from those Rust NIFs!
