I would like to add for anyone who doesn't use Rust, that these performance improvements in the Rust compiler are not just well written up, but are very meaningful in the real world. Subjectively (I've not measured scientifically), I'd say Rust compile times are ~1/2 what they were a few years ago. With that, incremental compilation, LLD, and a new machine my experience of Rust compile times has been completely revolutionised. There's still more work to be done, but a lot has been achieved here.

Indeed, it has become much more usable on my travel netbook (Asus 1215 B).

Nowadays it is really tolerable.
