I really want to get into rust, but the toolchain just uses a large amount of resources

I started using rust around a couple months ago and have been doing few small projects in it. But I find it really hard to get started with bigger sized projects due to the rust toolchain's resource usage. I have a pretty bad workstation (4 GB ram and a 4th generation intel i3) and every time I try to compile anything rust-related(mid-sized open source projects), my pc just crashes. And on top of that, rust analyzer uses a large amount of resources causing my editor to constantly hang.

What do you guys think I should do?
