I've had no problems with PlantUML's compilation time. How large are these documents?

  Pretty small actually, they don't take like hours, but just a few seconds, the problem is the preview feedback, I like to keep a entr and feh open while a edit the document to give a live preview of my changes, the problem is that the 3-4 seconds latency really mess this up

    Are you thinking of the default java gui for previewing plantuml docs? I think there's a timer down there to avoid polling the FS too often. Using a simple editor where everystroke recompiles, red warning in status bar while syntax is not OK (while still displaying the last good one), a 100loc canvas display window, done.

      It only recompiles whenever I hit save, pretty sure the delay is from java startup time

        That's why I'm saying to avoid the start time and to have editor and generator run in the same JVM. Ah if local serverless was a thing...

  There is a plantuml intellij plugin with split screen for text || diagram. Changes in the text are rendered pretty much instantaneously
