Yep. How will we manage those 10x code projects, when LLMs cost increases by 10x?

Bun is now over 1M lines of Rust code.

This is approaching the size of the Rust compiler itself; except that BunJs is mostly a JavaScript interpreter wrapper + a reimplementation of the NodeJS library (Rust STD wrapper).

I think BunJS is becoming the canary for software complexity management in the LLM era.

For embedded/kernel programmers: Is there a linux equivalent of this book?

+1 The zig toolchain is the state of the art currently.

For me, it's the toolchain. The Zig cross-compiler is beyond anything I've seen.

Yeah that was my also my thought.

I always understood that if you give a thread to each actor you get the "active object" design pattern.

I fail to see why this would not work with gcc if it works with clang. The runtime?

Great software.

On a small note: This recent PR is both awesome and pretty funny to me.

As a professional C programmer, the answer seems to be no; they are not good enough.

This is a good advice. That said, I don't think you should care about people that comments on articles without reading them.

> they do it using either a parallel functional language or a parallel library in modern C++.

IMO this is a weakness not a strength. The approach of Fleury (low level C, no lib), makes his articles a lot more valuable for understanding fundamentals.

This is exactly what the article is trying to debunk.

Great work on the self-hosted (no llvm) compiler and linker !

Is there somebody that can explain to me the value of incremental compilation?

How is this different than CMake caching, for example?
