  8. …for speeding up C++ builds if you are willing to rethink how the compiler works a little bit. https://github.com/yrnkrn/zapcc
  9. …a bit of the potential for improvement in build times, though it's just scratching the surface. https://github.com/yrnkrn/zapcc
  10. For caching mechanism, there's zapcc ( https://github.com/yrnkrn/zapcc ) which launches a background server at first compilation, and reuses instantiated template from the server in the following compilation. Sadly this project was…
