hi, just came here! Fast build times are important to me, so I was wondering this, thanks :smile:
The dev backend on linux is already working. It's probably the most mature dev backend. There may be some parts that aren't implemented but I'm not sure. I think you can run it with roc run --dev app.roc
I'm not sure but I think the goal is eventually for the dev backends to become default for faster development, and then you use --optimize
to switch to llvm for faster runtime performance.
Dbg does not work yet with the dev backend, but appart from that, I haven't found any issues with it on linux. Not writing much roc code tbh, just contribute to it here and there.
