Massive memory usage when type annotations needed

This is a bit of a complicated issue to report, because it happened seemingly at random after introducing a change in my code. This change lead to a compile error, and afterward a single rustc thread caused my computer to freeze with 15gb of ram usage, and 100% of a single cpu core.

An archive of my project is included. This happens when running any of cargo check, clippy, build in the project folder.

Sorry, this is not a minimally-reproducible example, because it happened on a complex project, and I am not sure what part of my code causes this behavior to show.

The behavior described below does not appear if the following lines in src/routes/game.rs are commented. In that case, cargo reports some warnings, then exits normally.

    // (near line 30)
    if let Some(game) = game.first() {
        //let language_ids = game.languages.iter().map(|x| x.id).collect();
        //let other_languages = conn
        //    .run(|c| {
        //        language::table
        //            .filter(language::columns::id.is_distinct_from(language_ids))
        //            .load(c)
        //    })
        //    .await?;
        Ok(Template::render(
            "game_full",
            context! {
                game,
            },
        ))
    } else {
        Err(ApplicationError::NoSuchGame { id })
    }

I expected to see this happen: rustc to show the error and eventually exit

Instead, this happened: cargo shows the following error:

and then consumes more and more ram until I am forced to kill the process
