      But concepts are easily transferable, so a line or two could help a lot :)

  You know any other language that uses the header/cpp split likes C/C++ do? This is C++es way of finally getting rid of them, akin to Swift or Rust.

      Which is going to murder your compilation times. Modules do it better, the MS Office team claims the following: Worst case: 0.9% regression compared to PCH - Best case: 21.2% improvement compared to PCH (From https://m.youtube.com/live/H6GQUg5JquU?si=1iC_OvRQ_MprzDTQ&t=7389 https://m.youtube.com/live/H6GQUg5JquU?si=1iC_OvRQ_MprzDTQ&t...)

        And what are the metrics in comparison to not using PCH?
