gollark: Maybe if I used tiny_http with its 75kloc of dependencies instead of warp with its 300kloc or so it would compile faster.
gollark: And Rust generally requires more dependencies to do anything.
gollark: I mean, it's probably also a function of dependencies, but my Rust project took about 30 seconds to compile and the Nim one about 5.
