This was a big reason for dart canceling its previous macros attempt (as I understand it). Fast compilation is integral for Flutter development - which accounts for a late percentage of dart usage - so after IIRC more than two years of developing it they still ended up not going through with that iteration of macros because it would make hot reload too slow. That degree of level-headedness and consideration is worthy of respect IMO.
- krzat 1y agoDart is a meh language but their focus on hot reload single handedly made it worth it's existence.
- pjmlp 1y agoIt only surprises anyone that never used Smalltalk or Common Lisp environments, thought. Pity it is still something that failed in the mainstream beyond niche stuff like VC++ hot reload, Live++, JRebel, Web frontend development.
