How did u find the compilation process

Package compilation or code compilation?

Package compilation was painless, code compilation isn't really noticeable once it starts running and the benefits you get from native speed are evident. I recently learnt that the IO functions are async as well (powered by libUV!) and the parallelism is easily an order of magnitude nicer to work with than Python's (and it's only going to get better).
