One other point is that the GWTAR speedup would help out on clean compiles, and not just recompiles. Obviously recompiles are where the real gold is at, in terms of development time, but anything that cuts down on CI hours at my work would definitely be much appreciated. @Johannes -> Your approach sounds like it has potential, and I would be glad to contribute to anything you are working on in that direction. Even if it won't help much or at all in the new compiler, we're all still using the old compiler, and anything I can do to drop our quarter-million/year CI bill would be time well spent. -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
