I once posted an Ask HN: what are your build times. A golang developer stated their 25 million line project compiles in less than half a second. If that is really the case, I must say, this is very impressive and potentially a reason to switch from other languages.
- kaba0 3y agoJava compiles very fast especially with a running gradle daemon, definitely on comparable levels. It also supports hot reloads to a degree. Also, was that a clean build?
- lenkite 3y agoIsn't this an exaggeration ? I have a 100k line go project and it takes several seconds to compile. No idea how a 25m line project compiles in less than half a second.
- peterashford 3y agoI work on a product written in Go which is considerably smaller than 25 million lines and our compile times are... really... really long. I really don't believe that claim at all. If it's true, I would love to see how it's done because that is SOOO far away from my daily experience.
- osigurdson 3y agoI was skeptical as well. Thanks for providing feedback. I suspect the way they were counting lines was wrong as 25M lines is a very large project in its own right.
