In fairness it is rather terrifying :P personally I pull all necessary information into some form of version-controlled storage, and then have a test to assert that the remote information is consistent with the stored version. Life's too short to have nondeterministic builds.

yeah that's fair. That's what I landed on too, and would think anyone using it seriously would be doing the same. But the fact that you could extend the compiler to program your own code generation in F# itself is amazing. Comptime in Zig reminds me of this too. I'd have to think OCaml has something similar, but I'm not too familiar with it.

Java has this too with the Manifold[1] project. It’s mind blowing.

woah, I had no idea. That seems pretty cool

SQLX has entered the chat [1].

Nice.

Java has what looks like SQLx on steroids with the manifold project coming down the pike.

This is the coolest thing I have seen over the previous week! Looks fantastic!
