Description
So, I've finally decided to try out Rust but was rather completely disappointed.
I chose to build exa (the ls replacement) but it took a whopping 61 minutes to build it with Rust 1.5!
The machine is a rather beefy Celeron @400Mhz with 128MB of ram.
Moreover, the resulting stripped binary occupies 2MB of space versus 122kb of ls, the program it purports to replace.
Sorry to break it to you girls but with statistics like these you're not going to replace anything in the computing world unless you can fix this stuff ASAP!
But can it be done?
