Hi all. I’m a CS student, and as such I’ve heard that the compiling process is very hard, O(2^n) in the worst case (because of the type checker). I’m curious as to how true this is. Is it truly EXP? Is there a shortcut (from the dev perspective) to avoid this cost (maybe by defining all of the types manually).
I have another question regarding the compiling times. I’ve read and heard from many members of the Core Team that there is a technical debt regarding compiling times. How true is this? Can compiling times be shortened to a 50% of what they are at the moment? And what is the lower bound? Is it known? Thanks for your patience. :) I’m probably asking something obvious, but I don’t know this and I have looked it up as much as I’ve been able to. Best regards, Félix
