If you could fuse together any 3 tools you’re using into one system, what tools that would be?
Conversation
I'm curious about what happens if we fuse a compiler and a build system into a fine-grain incremental compilation/build system. Not sure whether this would work well so I'll stop at just these two for now.

Oh, glad this was helpful to you! How did you come across it?
I'm also interested in other ways compilation could be sped up which could reduce some of the underlying need for incrementalism:

The other thing I'd like to try is pull-based compilation - but IIRC that might require better support for generators in Rust if I wanted to maintain my own sanity… here's something I was messing with ages ago: gist.github.com/brendanzab/c4c

Yup, really useful. Needed to build an incremental compiler from... markdown yo relational knowledge base for my toy project. Nothing fancy. Did a miniAdapton implementation for now.

"markdown yo relational knowledge base for my toy project" - tell me more - this sounds cool!!

Nothing substantial yet, just trying to build some tooling to boost my workflow with vim + adhoc scripts for wiki/adhoc automation.

I believe one of the most important things in such systems (wiki+automation) is a query language so I’m focusing on this first. This is one I’ve chosen to implement
