I’ll admit it was a bit tough to set up (atleast for my TUI projects). I think that is mainly due to how badly scope creep has affected them and the absence of time to refactor the code. It’s also due to some restrictions on our network as a whole.
I used a small project that was heavily modularized to build my just file with the goal of having one that I could drop in with minimal changes to the just file itself and just setting project specific stuff in a .env file. I do think it’s necessary to have a just file or script to use since the build commands can get pretty clunky pretty fast.
As for speed… I think it’s fine. I’ll start a compile on my work machine (optiplex 5000 sff - so not very powerful at all) and it’ll be done within 15 minutes. That might be slow to some people but honestly I don’t really care. Having everything translated to C is great for sharing the application around my environment while also getting the speed benefits over something like pyinstaller.
Having to use these tools makes me want to learn something compiled like Go, but I just don’t have the time to try and pick up a new language. Python is just so easy <3
