      @matt And if not, that means that people could conceivably realisitically use their phones for development. Modulo Apple's policies.

        @matt Probably will be too small. Multi-thread performance on the neo is not that great, as expected.

          @matt I write Rust all of the time on an M1 MacBook Air. I have to replace it, but only because the keyboard is breaking after all these years (I bought it on release day). The opt builds are all cached on BuildBuddy anyway:) https://sayrer.com/blog/whats-in-a-tweet/#bazel

            @matt @ekuber I don’t think it will be that bad honestly but we’ll see. I regularly work on fairly large Rust codebases and compile times aren’t high on my list of complaints.

            Bits of context:

            - I was a macOS / iOS developer for years. Compile times WERE a top complaint there.
            - The M1 doubled or quadrupled compile speeds from the previous gen Intel at the time. I still use my M1 Max, 4+ years later.
            - Some rust codebases are slow but it’s gotta be a REALLY heavy dep like DataFusion.

              @matt I really want to see and play with one. I don't need it but I want someone to buy it and come by so I can take a look. haha

                  @matt I think the 8GB RAM will be a problem rather than CPU

                    @matt Along with other idiosyncrasies of the Rust language as well. It's got a ways to go before it can truly compete with C.
