Arguably, zig is not yet at the point where they should care very much about performance regressions.
- speed_spread 5y agoZig is very much a performance language, so it would make sense to track that metric from the get go (haha).
- Leherenn 5y agoThey should care, though they probably have more leeway to drop performance for the right trade off since they are not stable yet.
- nrclark 5y agoZig 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.
- kristoff_it 5y agoexcellent 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
