Faster Rust compilation tools

Develop IDE plugins or build tools that optimize Rust compilation times through smarter dependency analysis.

Why now

As Rust adoption grows, developers need better tooling to address its notoriously slow compile times.

Who for
Rust developers
Business model
Paid licenses
Effort
A few weeks

Rust developers lose hours waiting for compiles, especially in large codebases. Current tools don't leverage all possible optimizations.

Create a plugin that analyzes dependency graphs and suggests structural changes to reduce recompilation. Could integrate with popular IDEs.

Monetize through paid licenses for teams or enterprise features.

Start with a simple CLI tool that suggests mod reorganizations.

Risk: Official Rust tooling may eventually implement similar optimizations.
