- uluyol 6y agoI wonder whether C++ modules will give C++20 the edge here.
- nindalf 6y agoI asked someone who worked on the C++ modules proposal and they said it might both help and hinder compile times. On one hand, compile time would be lowered because compilation units are larger and less can be done in parallel. But in future, incremental builds probably become quicker because it’s easier to tell what’s actually changed and what that affects.
- lenkite 6y agoNot sure if this is really true. Our C++ project builds are quite fast. I personally find Rust cold compile time far longer than C++.
