    Zig compiler project is about 600,000 lines of code - roughly the same size as Bun before the rewrite, and I’m clocking 16s to build from scratch with a clean cache, followed by 90ms for each subsequent edit with incremental compilation enabled.

    That’s impressive compilation performance. And so most certainly when contrasting it to Rust.

    Brb, I am rewriting everything in Zig.
