Thank you! That's the reason I don't use Rust at all and for 
anything (even if it is so popular and has so much support). 
That's also the reason I am OBSESSED with TCC and was inspired to 
learn about compilers and make my own.

Funny enough there are people that don't care about compilation 
speed and are willing to have their project compile even twice as 
fast for 5% runtime performance. The same people of course don't 
have any problem using Python in other cases...
