> Veloren's compile time is bad, but this is hyperbolic nonsense.
Eh, I just tried it because I was curious about M1-ready builds, and:
Finished dev [optimized] target(s) in 5m 08s
veloren on master via v1.59.0-nightly took 5m18s
5 minutes doesn't sound bad to me. Mostly because I remember how long it took me to compile Gnome back in the day :')
- Jweb_Guru 5y agoLike I said, it's not bad at all on an M1 (or other machines aimed at professional developers). A lot of the project's contributors are hobbyists or using less overpowered hardware, though, which is why the project has taken steps to try to make it better for the common cases (CI machines can also be an issue). But there's a huge difference between acknowledging it's a problem, and trying to somehow claim that it rules out Rust for game development (Veloren is an existence proof that this is not the case!).
- zesterer 5y agoAlso try recompiling it after a trivial change. You'll find that it'll take less than a minute, perhaps even seconds.
