Fast hot reload is not Luau specific though. Lua and LuaJIT reloads fast too, so does JS and most other scripting platforms. In fact, I have subsecond C++ hot-reloads.

Do you have a link for the official Luau Discord? I can't see anything on their webpage or github and google is not helpful either.

There's not an official Discord for Luau today (though it's something I've been considering setting up), but there is a Roblox open source community discord that the whole team is active in as part of our work on Luau.

I mentioned fast hot reload because your original comment complained about compilation speed, and some people might not know you were referring to the speed of compiling your custom Luau integration in C++ (which is also fast for me, personally).

Sounds like the Discord I mentioned is technically the Roblox discord. The #luau-lang and #luau-lsp channels are where I lurk.
