Which is exactly what we need when doing GUI and games in Rust.

If it can't compete with the compile times from. NET, Java, Dart, Typescript then it won't be used by most folks.

C++ already lost the GUI wars for a reason, now stuck being the low level implementation language for GUI frameworks, driven by other languages.

IME Typescript generally has far worse compile times than rust especially if you need to start splitting into packages or do anything more complex than stripping type annotations.
It never took me 15 minutes, like on a Gtk+rs project I have.
Depends on what you're doing. If you're type checking, it's usually happening in the background via LSP. If you're "compiling" to JS, use esbuild and its instant.
