Generics and Compile-Time in Rust

The Rust programming language compiles fast software slowly. In this series we explore Rust’s compile times within the context of TiKV. Rust Compile-time Adventures with TiKV: Episode 2 In the previous post in the series we covered Rust’s early development history, and how it led to a series of decisions that resulted in a high-performance language that compiles slowly. Over the next few we’ll describe in more detail some of the designs in Rust that make compile time slow.
