Came here to ask why this project was at the top of HN with 15k stars on github yet I had never heard of it. Was also wondering just why- the scope, claims and goals of the project make no sense.
Those fast compiles, fast speed, plus the feature list (standard generics and hot code reloading) make this look insanely cool! What's the secret sauce? The translation from C and compile being 25x faster than just compiling C seems nearly impossible. Edit: sibling comment points out it may seem amazingly cool and nearly impossible because it does not, in fact, exist. How can we learn more about the feasibility of th…
It's easy to make a language that compiles faster than C. First get rid of the C preprocessor, and fix the syntax so it is easier to parse (e.g. `name: Type` rather than `Type name`). You can go even further and make it possible to parse each line independently (I think Zig does this?).
Second use a simple modern code generator that doesn't do much optimisation.

There have been a bunch of threads about this in the past year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20250990 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20229632 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19403271 Also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20258485
first time I saw it was today and I thought it looked cool.
I think name and shame, street parade the criminal would be a good moderation idea. don't just highlight the best, highlight the worst. it helps reinforce standards
never seen a forum do that tho. it's always about the most liked
but in society we also know the most hated

I guess the paradox of killing them all so quickly is it's unlikely the signal of poor quality propagates widely first time I saw it was today and I thought it looked cool.
