It’s around 100k loc sized project, so from what I’ve seen that’s about what you can expect with Rust.

100k lines and you don’t yet have a design that’s mostly settled?

5m seems about right. Lemmy’s from scratch builds are ~3.5m on a fast machine, and we have ~60k lines of code, and are using some with large libraries with lots of features enabled. But you really should only ever have to do a from scratch build either at the beginning, or when you deploy. When developing, your IDE should only ever really run check or clippy, which should take seconds at most.
