I think we should really fix these issues, working separate
compilation is very important.
No, it's not. Separate compilation is C++-ishly slow by design
(b/c all dependencies get imported over and over again, just like
headers).
We should endorse compiling small (rather independent) packages
to static/shared libraries.
And where do you draw the line? Do we expect ARM users to have 4GB of
RAM to compile phobos? Is 512MB enough? 64 MB? Even huge C++ codebases
such as GCC compile with 128MB memory.
Large codebases are best organized to have more packages, not larger
packages.
Phobos takes about 600MB max to build.
