Is Aniseed's compilation incremental? #146

I'm curious to wether it blindly compiles every fennel file or does it track which files changed and only compiles them? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

It compiles all files to keep things simpler, nfnl on the other hand only compiles the file you just edited unless it's a macro file, in which case it compiles everything to make sure the macro's effects propagate. I do not attempt to parse Fennel / Lua to work out the dependencies, it's not really worth it when compile times of big projects like Conjure are measured in a handful of milliseconds, the Fennel compiler is REALLY fast because it's a pretty simple transformation in many ways. |
