Frankly, this just reads like FUD. See the official explanation on why the PR in question wasn't merged: https://ziggit.dev/t/bun-s-zig-fork-got-4x-faster-compilatio... "Therefore, to implement this feature without an avalanche of bugs and inconsistencies, we need to make language changes." "Put more simply, we are going to make these enhancements, but hacking them in for a flashy headline isn’t a good outcome for our users. Instead we’re approaching the problem with the care it deserves, so that when we ultimately ship it, we don’t cause regressions." "So instead of wasting time writing a more robust implementation of this LLVM module splitting logic for a relatively minor improvement, we have instead put that effort towards features like self-hosted backends and incremental compilation, which can improve compilation speed by orders of magnitude. [...] There’s the 4x speedup claimed by the Bun team, already available on Zig 0.16.0!" |
