| This sounds like great news, Zig's compilation times are already terrific and this is going to only make them better. |

| > Zig's compilation times are already terrific In my experience, this (for now) is mostly aspirational. It's obviously a major goal, and there are clear milestones outlined on how to achieve it, but in practice the initial compile of an empty project or the excruciating pause when you `direnv allow` and ZLS needs to be (re)built are not what I'd describe as "terrific". |

| Yes, compilation speeds of the 90's are slowly making a return, thankfully. |
