I know you are joking but needing to compile is probably one of the reasons “teams” are more productive in Rust.

You cannot check something into the build system unless you can build. Once Rust is compiling, you have eliminate scores of problems that may still be in equivalent C++ code.

Rust works to limit the damage one dev can do to the codebase.

I take that as a challenge. :)

But yes, that compiler checks and awesome linter is one of the main reasons I use Rust. I like working with concurrent and parallel code, and Rust makes that really safe.

my python doesn't need to parse to pass cI, at least to long as I don't write tests that run that code section. Checkmate all languages that have to compile. /s
