Easy to say "monomorphization is awful and Rust should never have done it", harder to say "I want all generic functions to be compiled to bytecode and to embed a Rust interpreter in every binary".

I'm increasingly convinced that the interpreter solution is the only reasonable alternative for Rust.

*I'm* actually OK with this as an opt-in compilation mode, at least for cold functions. But are the people complaining about compilation time OK with it?

In C++ I can do forward declarations and add virtual interfaces between module boundaries to improve compilation speed (i.e. allow separate compilation). Is that kind of tuning possible with Rust?
