Relax: JIT compiler for Rust to reduce build times direct repository linkDebated

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.
