This is great, visibility makes the zig developers accountable and gives a clear incentive not to regress. Does anyone know of similar projects from other langu

  I know of https://perf.rust-lang.org https://perf.rust-lang.org It's integrated with the bors bot, so pull requests can be measured and prevented from merging if they regress. Additionally, this data is manually analyzed, and gets weekly reports like this: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/blob/master/triage/2021-11-30.md https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/blob/master/triage/2...

  Arguably, zig is not yet at the point where they should care very much about performance regressions.

    Zig is very much a performance language, so it would make sense to track that metric from the get go (haha).
  • Leherenn 5y ago
    They should care, though they probably have more leeway to drop performance for the right trade off since they are not stable yet.

    Zig is growing fast, and the dev team should feel proud of what they're building. I think it's great to see metrics like this because they demonstrate an attention to detail that will be necessary for Zig's success. Metrics help ensure that Zig will stay high-performance as it moves to its self-hosted compiler, which is underway right now.

    excellent compilation speed is one of the main goals of the self-hosted compiler, which is what is being developed right now, so it makes total sense to track related metrics
