The author is the former lead developer of the Rust's LSP server, so it seems natural to have a preference for languages that would allow him to do a better job. Slow compilation (including incremental) is one of the most common complaints about Rust, despite a lot of effort spent on optimizations there. I think it would be good if more people are aware of the inherent downsides of maximizing expressiveness.

Rust compilation is actually very fast if you keep things Java-esque : No macros, no monomorphization (every Trait dyn). Obviously most the ecosystem isn't built that way, leaning more on the metaprogramming style because the language makes it so convenient.
