Sparrow Li presented virtually at

RustConf 2024 about the current state of and
future plans for the Rust compiler’s performance. The compiler is relatively slow to compile
large programs, although it has been getting better over time. The next big
performance improvement to come will be parallelizing the compiler’s parsing,
type-checking, and related operations, but even after that, the project has
several avenues left to explore.
