The Zig compiler has used Data Oriented Design for a long time, so any recent version has that, yes. The most substantial part of running the compiler right now is LLVM, hence the focus to provide an alternative. The other big focus right now is incremental compilation, which will make recompilations very fast.

The talk I am referring to is from 2024 and shows some metrics improving by 30% or more. And Andrew said that's not yet shipped:

So, are you sure about that??

EDIT: ok, the talk was uploaded just last week, but someone in the comments clarified that:

> The original talk is from 2021.. Thank you for reuploading.

I feel stupid now :/

Recently Andrew posted that the compiler can compile itself without LLVM in under 10 seconds: https://mastodon.social/@andrewrk/112752924367683101
