About the project

Patches to rustc and cargo that let dependent crates start compiling before their dependencies finish checking function bodies, speeding up cargo check and cargo build.

Useful for
  • Speed up cargo check of large Rust projects like rust-analyzer or bevy on many-core machines
  • Build patched rustc and cargo via scripts/setup.sh and benchmark the gain on your project
  • Run scripts/sweep.sh to verify diagnostics and build results stay unchanged

Stars per day

0612September 27, 2026October 4, 2026

Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • 11 stars so far today, about 16 expected by the end of the day.
  • The repository is 7 days old and already has 13 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Hacker News: “Emitting metadata early makes building/checking Rust up to twice as fast” — 41 points, 8 h ago.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
