Relax Rust JIT cuts agentic dev first-frame time from ~3 min to 11s on M4 MacBook
ricklamers · x · 2026-11-12
Developer rikarends built Relax, a Rust JIT workflow designed to be LLM-accessible and sidestep Rust's notorious compile times — especially useful during agentic development.
A demo shows a large 3D game project going from clean checkout to first frame in 11 seconds on an M4 MacBook running straight from source with Relax, versus roughly 3 minutes of rustc + Cargo build time before launch (animation is time-compressed; both lanes share one time axis). A website for the project was built with fable 5.2.
