I’m working on an unrelated project that does some stuff similarly to you. I’m at 4k lines right now.
Just wondering, how long did it take you to hit 40k lines? I’m a new Rust developer and it’s taken me ages to get this far.
I totally relate to your experience though. When I finally get my code to compile, it “just works” without crashes. I’ve never felt so confident in my code before.

- bigyikes 3y agoImpressive dedication! I hope I can make it that long. The project looks cool and the technical details sound even cooler. Thanks for the perspective.

Same experience with Modula-2 three decades ago. A page or more of compiler errors to clear, then suddenly adiabatic. A very satisfying experience.
