In his live-stream three days ago, Andrew Kelley showed the beginnings of Zig directly generating debug-mode executables, very quickly. And that’s before incremental compilation and linking. This guy is amazing.

- logicchains 6y agoAh, that's awesome! Really cool to see a new language taking compile-time so seriously.
- setpatchaddress 6y agoFast compile time isn't actually that hard for a C-like language. Good code optimization and fast compile time is hard.
- alexhutcheson 6y agoFast compile time on large projects is really hard for C and C-compatible languages due to the preprocessor and #include. Not an issue if you're comparing compilation for a single file, but it turns into a substantial fraction if your compile time when that file transitively #includes 10s or 100s of headers.
