That's more to do with Spring, not Java. The compilation time of Java is infinitely faster than that of Rust.


Well, in this case. It had to do with Warp hitting a regression in compiler.

Spring is one of most if not THE ubiquitous piece of Java software. All Java shop I worked for, had Spring

Comparing Spring+Java to Rust+Warp is imo fair game.


Meanwhile others of us have never used Spring in production, I have been on the JEE camp since the BEA and WebSphere 5.1 days.


For pretty 90 plus % of jobs you're pretty much confined to the Spring ecosystem. Same with C# and asp.net separating the two would be really weird.


Hello from the 10%.


Unless you pull in a humongous amount of dependencies, Rust's compilation is still very very fast.

The dependency problem is a whole different issue. Hard to tackle, but it's one that must be solved.


The java slow build time is usually a dependency problem too. On similar complexity, Java is usually as fast or even faster than Rust.
