On gentoo, if I emerge Firefox, it’s ready tomorrow. I will loudly and happily proclaim my error if this is a gentoo bug and not a rust bug. I will sit down and write some rust code if that’s the case.
I don’t get what the point of pointing that out is, other than to suggest that Rust should have used header files. If we’re going to debate the merits of header files, let’s get that out on the table.

No, the point is that *right now* c++ may be a more attractive choice for compile times for users

I’m not trying to argue for a different Rust. Only responding to Eddy’s "Rust is not really worse than C++", pointing out that the state of the world today is that introducing Stylo doubled Firefox’s build time when a few desktops with big CPUs are available to icecc.

Oh, god... please no. No header files was a good decision. If we need them to speed up downstream compiles, couldn't that be cached data that's stored with each crate after build? (I'm assuming that's already happening to some extent, honest I've never looked at rlibs)
