		ferdowsi on Oct 4, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Things Go needs more than generics Flaws often represent design tradeoffs. Rust's lengthy compile times are a tradeoff for a highly sophisticated type system, where Go made the opposite choice (a simple type system for fast compiles). As a web engineer I prefer the latter for a rapid development/debug cycle.

Ocaml's compiler is very fast(not including extreme edge cases), It has nothing to do with "highly sophisticated type system". It's mostly llvm.

As a web engineer you should look at rescript/reason before making claims about compile times.
