   Gotcha, I respect that. With a few privacy-minded devs like you, I have offered them a custom compiler toolchain (and happy to make the source available) that they can "self-host". If you are interested in trying it out, I'd

   Ha yes that is a diplomatic way to put it. To the commenter's point though, I too question some of the defaults. mold does seem to be objectively better than the default linker. Stripping debuginfo does seem like it would have been a b

   I appreciate this detailed explanation! To preface, I took on macro expansion caching because it was a clear solution for the slow builds I saw in some projects (taking the "project-specific" approach I mentioned in the blog). Tha

   Thanks for raising this. I hadn't anticipated this as a major concern. Is your main concern that you can't see the compiler code -- in which case would it help if the the source were available? Or is it even more than that, that y

   I like the simplicity. I definitely get the payoff for standalone Python scripts, where once the script errors out the memory is cleared. But do you see a similar payoff for Jupyter notebooks (or similar)?

   Ah yep I'm aware of that. Bevy is a framework/engine that devs built on top of. I was referring to the project that OP has built on top of Bevy

   But usually, at least I don't build an executable while iterating. And if I do, I try to set up the feature flags so the build is minimal for the tests I am running

   Is that Bevy project open-source by any chance? I'd love to it out myself

   This is most definitely self-promotion (I am the author), but also extremely relevant if you are looking at incremental build speed-ups: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39743431

    Thanks! I go over some of the details of my procedural macro caching solution in the linked blog, and my code snippet there might be most informative.

    Agree, especially when developing, I'd assume speed of optimizer matters more than quality of optimization. I wonder though if LLVM spent less time on that "phase ordering" problem, what is the tradeoff between these two fact

    Hi HN, I’m Kapil from CodeRemote. I am building Rust developer productivity tooling to speed up your edit-compile-run cycle. While I love Rust for its runtime performance and safety (not to mention its sweet syntactic sugar), I have long be

    I reduced (incremental) Rust compile times by up to 40%(coderemote.dev)

    If you are in a corporate environment, then Jetbrains products are probably decent. What language are you developing in? Also not free but Sublime with SFTP (if that's still something people use) is an option
