Comparing compile times to C is sort of like comparing jumping off a bridge with a parachute vs. jumping off a bridge. In the latter case, you'll get to the bottom a lot faster, but not very safely.
Rust isn't a "silver bullet" that will solve all of our problems, but it
sure will help in a huge number of places, so for new stuff going
forward, why wouldn't we want that?

Treat anything starting with
cargo
as if it iscargo run
. This applies even to commands that do not build anything, such ascargo clean
, and third-party plugins, such ascargo audit
.
Probably a terrible idea, but I enjoy throwing ideas at the wall, and seeing how sharp their broken fragments are.
