No need to image, the thesis mentioned in the README provides compile-time results. From no noticeable overhead to 2x larger compile-times than Rust.

Quite reasonable if you take into account that one is one person's university thesis, and the other is a project with 100s of active developers, 100s of open PRs, etc.

To my understanding skimming the paper, the analysis must compute "call contexts" of functions, which use information from call sites. I wonder if this will impede incremental compilation and modularity. As programs get bigger, perhaps this approach may not scale.
