Why is the Rust compiler so slow?

My homepage takes 73ms to rebuild: 17ms to recompile the static site generator, then 56ms to run it.

Zig isn’t memory safe though right?

Zig is less memory safe than Rust, but more than C/C++. Neither Zig nor Rust is fundamentally memory safe.

What? Zig is definitively not memory-safe, while safe Rust, is, by definition, memory-safe. Unsafe rust is not memory-safe, but you generally don't need to have a lot of it around.
