> Zig's compilation times are already terrific
In my experience, this (for now) is mostly aspirational. It's obviously a major goal, and there are clear milestones outlined on how to achieve it, but in practice the initial compile of an empty project or the excruciating pause when you `direnv allow` and ZLS needs to be (re)built are not what I'd describe as "terrific".
>(re)built are not what I'd describe as "terrific".
It sounds like you are a strong candidate to try out the new improvements mentioned in this devlog and see what benefits you can get for yourself.
Compared to Rust or C++?
Maybe you're right, but how many other system programming languages toolchains give you sub 50ms recompilations across millions of LoC?
I foresee a pjmlp comment in your near future. :)
Oh that is me as well :)
Yeah, let's add a sprinkle of toxicity to my Saturday morning!
