#6Great work on the self-hosted (no llvm) compiler and linker !
Is there somebody that can explain to me the value of incremental compilation?
How is this different than CMake caching, for example?

#7Thank you, so many great features. My personal favorite is .declLiteral() syntax, which makes webserver route-configuration very easy and readable!
If you are ever in temptation to do a builder for internal DSL, .declLiteral() might be a better way. I think it might be very cool for GUI structures too.
I did a quick PoC for SQL query building, but unfortunately, any more advanced queries are better to copy & serialize their arguments for safety reasons, so not that useful there, but still, very hyped about this particular thing.

My understanding is that Zig's incremental compilation will work on a much more granular level (i.e. functions, etc), so, for example, change one function and only that function (and its dependencies) will get recompiled/relinked (there's some linker trickery involved to avoid needing to relink everything IIUC).

Thanks for sharing !

Hm, I didn't think to add Haiku to the support table. It's probably Tier 3; the standard library support is minimal, and we don't support cross-compiling its libc. Patches definitely welcome.
