> For small projects this is OK, but for large - not quite, IMHO. I don't know about that. I always compile everything at once now - in my experience, it's negligibly slower than linking alone.
druntime: compiled all at once takes ~1 second on my box. 65k lines of (light) code. phobos: compiled all at once takes ~1 second. 150k loc. my web app for work: 3 seconds, all at once. 50k loc, does some crazy stuff. Maybe million line programs will be unacceptably slow, but I don't know, I'd have to actually see it being a problem in practice before I get worked up about it. tbh I wouldn't be surprised if the incremental build was actually slower than the all at once in a lot of situations. (Though, naming the packages and modules to match the filesystem is a small cost anyway - it makes it easier to find the files so usually the best choice anyway.)
