The discussion centers on Relax, an AI-generated JIT compiler for Rust that reduces build times by deferring the borrow checker, with users debating whether this trade-off is viable compared to traditional caching tools. Critics argue that long build times stem from dependency bloat and trait solving rather than the borrow checker itself, while proponents highlight the tool's utility for rapid iteration and AI-assisted development.

> The borrow checker is new: 0.1.0 has none, so an edit with a borrow error builds and runs; the one on main finds about two thirds of rustc's borrow errors.

Hey what could go wrong? You didn't really need 33% of your borrow-checking anyways.
Only one contributor with more than four commits.
Initial commit was 7 days ago. I guess now we have a "vibechecker"!
