Often during early development I don’t want to share my code with others. Obviously a compiler on my machine could make a secret internet connection, but I guess that would be noticed, and certainly couldn’t be later denied.

Can I be at all sure you aren’t keeping a copy of all source you are ever submitted?

Usually I eventually submit to GitHub, then CI occurs, and all is public. However, only getting fast building on CI doesn’t motivate me that much, I don’t care if I burn GitHub/Microsoft’s CPU cycles as much as I mind about my own :)

Gotcha, I respect that. With a few privacy-minded devs like you, I have offered them a custom compiler toolchain (and happy to make the source available) that they can "self-host". If you are interested in trying it out, I'd be happy to get you set up.

Thanks for the offer. I would mention it somewhere on your webpage, just so people (like me) don't get worried. Right now I'm too busy to try a new compiler, but if I find myself with a little more time, and a little longer rust compile times, in the future, I will remember to look you up!
