... yet that's still about initial build times, because once you've built your dependencies, you don't build them again.


Except building the same crates multiple times across the depedency graph.

Additionally, from my point of view, not caring about initial build times is a crappy development experience, versus what is offered by apt/yum/NuGet/vcpkg/conan.


All of the packages I'm using for my most recent project (https://github.com/zig-for/snfm/blob/main/vcpkg.json) required building on machine. Takes about an hour and doesn't run in parallel (now there's a good PR for someone...). Vcpkg packages _can_ be distributed in binary form, it just doesn't happen.
