Analyzing Slow Spots in the Compilation Process

We love Rust at Oxide, but the haters aren’t wrong: builds can be slow. Bryan and Adam are joined by Sean Klein, Rain Paharia, and Steve Klabnik to discuss techniques for analyzing and accelerating Rust builds.

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, speakers included Sean Klein, Rain Paharia, and the illustrious Steve Klabnik.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

• go forth and vibe in this minecraft paradise I seeded
• Dinosaur book
• Roslyn
• --timings
• Steve's "outlining" example
• Rain's cargo-hakari
• Rain speeding up Omicron builds
• Blog post on many of these topics
• Sean's fix to u32 overflow bug
• miniserde
• mold
• David Tolnay on pre-compiled macros in wasm
• Buck2
• Build Systems à la Carte

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
