alt Hacker News>>Load time is in seconds, even with the program cached.
Are you like, for real? How often do you load it up for it to matter in the slightest? Do you not just open the project once at the start of the day and then continue working?
Sorry but for someone used to working in VS proper and projects which take minimum 40 minutes to build, saying that a startup time of a few seconds is a problem is.....just hard to understand.
I live in the terminal and opening files with vim is the primary way I interact with them.
I mean I do this too This sounds problematic and a whole different category of problems.Don't you have partial compiles? Parallel compiling? Upgrade your machine?
But it's not just startup time. I use less RAM, less CPU resources, jumping through tags is instant, working through the debugger is instant, opening new files is instant, fuzzy searching my system is instant. It sounds like the program you're working on and your editor are fighting for resources and I've never faced that problem with vim
