Thoughts on jujutsu?
I haven't wanted to dive into this until it's more widely used, because I don't want to learn a tool that will die on me, but I really really hope it catches on. I hate git. I love what it does, but Jesus it's a train wreck, it does way too much, in way too many ways, with no consistency More on reddit.com

July 26, 2024Video: A linker in the Wild (Rust linker)
This is really really good work. To add some color to this for other folks - the linker presented here is an "incremental" linker. Right now Rust defers to your system linker (or whatever you might've specified) and relinks the binary on every incremental compilation. This linker design would let you only relink whatever parts of your codebase have changed. Lets say you're building a video game or a GUI app. Wild would let modify a single function, recompile that function, and then relink only that function. Combined with cranelift you could probably get JIT + hotreloading of rust code on the order of milliseconds. The other pieces presented at the end are very interesting. If rustc had a more intimate relationship with the linker, it could rely on the linker to guide codegen. Why would you bother doing codedgen for something that the linker would eliminate anyways? This would make compiling big libraries much faster since you don't need the entire crate compiled - only the functions you directly use. Combined with caching, the rust compiler could be *so* much faster. More on reddit.com
