I built something similar - tbd on maintaining it - but I got Rust Analyzer emitting code and as well as running in the web. This new concept of rust compile daemon is pretty sick.
Can build and iterate on Rust in the browser!
Somehow always, someone somewhere rediscovers that cutting down the time between coding and code execution makes our lives easier and to a degree be able to write better programs.
Perhaps the earliest and best attempt was Lisp's computational model. Since then, the idea manifested itself again[1], again[2], and again[3] in different forms.

Anyone know what effect it has on targets/ bloat and dev disk usage?
I knew that makepad devs were focused on build times, but didn't imagine this much!
This is preposterously ambitious - a complete Rust re-implementation. Looks like it's mostly claude?
I've been using "mr boxington" (mbx) the past several weeks and it's been a big help. https://mr-boxington.jdx.dev/
Common Lisp lurks in the shadows, watching its own reinvention comfortably, yet another time
The world really needs something like this, but why such a slop UI website.
Just tell Opus 5.5 to "redesign the UI to not look like AI slop, design it like a human expert designer would" at bare minimum.
We have had good experience with kache so far to speedup builds in CI and local
