Hey all! This isn't a fully fleshed out idea, but something that I've noticed especially with Ash Framework is how a *large* portion of our code should only ever be called when compiling.
What brought this to my attention recently is that there are tons of places where we may do things like convert strings to atoms (not using `to_existing_atom`), and currently we just tell sobelow to skip that behavior because we know its only used at compile time. I'm aware that new code can be compiled at runtime, but my thought is that we can also potentially, on an opt-in basis, allow users to omit this compile time only code from their application, if they are *not* doing that. With how much code exists in Ash that serves only the compile time, I'm thinking this could significantly shrink the size of the code and its base memory footprint. I don't know if the juice would be worth the squeeze here or not, and its also very possible that there are reasons why, even if we wanted to, we couldn't do this kind of thing -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
