"Just". Probably because there's a lot of complexity you're waving away. Almost nothing is ever simple as "just".

At a previous company, we had a rule: whoever says "just" gets to implement it :)
I wanted to ban “just” but your rule is better. Brilliant.
That "just" was too flippant. My bad. What I meant to convey is "hey, there's some fast compiling going on here and it wasn't that hard to pull off. Can we at least take a look at why that is and maybe do the same thing?".

Do you really believe that nobody over the course of Rust's lifetime has ever taken a look at C compilers and thought about if techniques they use could apply to the Rust compiler?
Of course not. But it wouldn't surprise me if nobody thought to use a unity build. (Maybe they did. Idk. I'm curious).
