This is a sort of odd phenomenon, but I've noticed that the Rust software I'm developing professionally is never actually getting run before it's pushed to production. We have some unit tests and run those, and if that's fine then into prod it goes. It's honestly a bit insane when I think about it, but it works...

cargo check will take long once you use macros. And now the advice changes to "well you shouldnt use that many macros", and a new criticism will be made, followed by "well you shouldnt....." and a new...

I dont think this wont even work for most kind of programming. I always do an edit-compile-run cycle when im programming, or I break everything to .so and dynamically reload as much as possible. Very easy with C++ and C.

I am waiting on zig and its in place binary patching. But just saying that you should cargo check instead of running and seeing with your eyes if your change made sense or not or is affecting perf or not is....ridiculous.

I think this kind of development flow works better when you are writing already solved solutions or rewriting code. How on earth are you gonna cargo check a perf issue, or a game or memory leaks???
