Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

The Rust Programming Language Blog offers insights, updates, and tutorials on the Rust programming language, focusing on its safety, performance, and concurrency features. Developers can learn about Rust language syntax, ownership model, and memory management, as well as explore advanced topics such as async programming and unsafe Rust. Additionally, the blog highlights community contributions, Rust ecosystem libraries, and upcoming language features, providing resources for Rust developers.

The Rust team analyzed over 3,700 responses from their first compiler performance survey, revealing that incremental rebuilds after small changes are the biggest pain point for developers. While average satisfaction was 6/10, 55% of respondents wait over 10 seconds for rebuilds. Key issues include unnecessary workspace rebuilds, slow linking phases, and non-incremental compilation steps. The team is addressing these through faster default linkers (LLD), improved caching, and experimental features like hint-mostly-unused. They're also creating an official build performance guide and working on better profiling tools to help developers identify bottlenecks.

Workarounds for improving build performance

<p>I’m okay with it being slower. I’m okay with slower compile times for faster code execution. It’s a good trade-off.</p>
