    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.
