I'm saying the opposite, actually. I found it easier to contribute to Rust projects (with zero hours Rust experience, and much Python/Java/C/C++/Ada) because Rust projects are significantly easier to build. (Just a `cargo build` in the default case.)
It makes no sense to me. You found it easier to contribute to Rust projects because... Rust projects are significantly easier to build? What? You can just do "dune build" in OCaml, or run "make" for many C projects. Plus, it is also significantly slower to build Rust projects, you should have probably added that.
