    That page averages all the builds across different code bases. It doesn’t specify which version/tag of which code base, nor does it talk about the hardware.

    https://arewefastyet.pages.dev/ - This page tracks compile times across some common crates over all supported compiler versions, with different hardware (2, 4, 8, 16 cores). This used to be https://arewefastyet.rs but the domain expired.

    You can check incremental compile times on http://arewefastyet.rs. Choose one compile mode (Debug OR Release, preferably Debug), one hardware config (4 cores let's say) and both profile modes (Clean, Incremental).

  • Reducing Rust Incremental Compilation Times on macOS by 70%
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Apr 2021
    Compile times in rustc have been steadily improving with time, as shown here - https://arewefastyet.rs.

    Every release doesn't make every workload faster, but over a long time horizon, the effect is clear. Rust 1.34 was released in April 2019 and since then many crates have become 33-50% faster to compile, depending on the hardware and the compiler mode (clean/incremental, check/debug/release).

    Interestingly, the speedup mentioned in OP won't show up in these charts because that's a change on macOS and these benchmarks were recorded on Linux.

    What is expected to be a gamechanger is the release of cranelift in 2021 or 2022. It's an alternate debug backend that promises much faster debug builds.

    Yes plenty of effort goes into making Rust compilation faster, see https://arewefastyet.rs/, its FAQ, and some easy internet searches.

    I implemented something similar. Deserialising a comma separated strings into a struct - example. Hope that helps!
