Emitting metadata early makes building/checking Rust up to twice as fast

Emitting metadata early makes building/checking Rust up to twice as fast

A new approach to Rust compilation emits metadata earlier, cutting build and check times by up to 50%. The technique reduces the need for repeated passes over the code, streamlining dependency analysis and type checking. Benchmarks show that projects using the method compile twice as fast as those with the traditional pipeline. The change could improve developer productivity across the Rust ecosystem.
