megacorp-scale software projects are so unsustainable. if your project's source code is larger than a gigabyte or takes more than a few minutes to compile… god, i'd rather sacrifice a months of my time writing a smaller alternative than have to suffer through building it
(sorry, i am once again venting about ANGLE… but this may as well be about LLVM or <insert large, Google-sponsored project here>)
have any of you noticed how few dependencies touchHLE has, considering all the things it needs to do, and how it can be compiled in less than quarter of an hour even on an underpowered dual-core machine? that's my way of fighting back against compile-time and source-code bloat.
@hikari but llvm is a dependency, check mate atheists /s
@eater LLVM is not a dependency of touchHLE! I considered using it for reading object files, and I do have a branch somewhere which does use it for that, but I was able to find a much more lightweight alternative
@hikari rustc can work without llvm?
@eater oh i see what you mean, but i don't have to build rustc myself at least
