Rust's compile times are worse than Go but are still way better than people make it to be.

Here are some examples:

---

Rust Analyzer:

Clean build: 31.02s

Incremental build: 3.07s (Added a `println!` in a level-2 dependency in the dependency graph)

SLOC: 306,467

SLOC of dependencies: ~879,304 (After removing `win*` packages which make up for another 1.3M)

Zola:

Clean build: 24.58s

Incremental build: 1.34s (Added a `println!` in a level-2 dependency in the dependency graph)

SLOC: 17,233

SLOC of dependencies: ~2,087,781 (After removing `win*` packages which make up for another 1.3M)

Obviously, not all source code gets compiled due to conditional compilation but it makes for a good approximate if you only take into account 2/3 of it.

For comparison with Zig by building ZLS:

Clean build: 20.13s

Incremental build: 10.27s (I believe this builds the ZLS package again from scratch so not really incremental)

SLOC: 45,806

SLOC of dependencies: I don't know how to get this.
