TensorFlow was originally developed by Google engineers and researchers to develop machine learning and deep neural networks research. Good? I guess? If your machine needs some learning?

Given the significant innovation in design tools and software development infrastructure, this type of coding is going to look dramatically different in the future. I thought VB settled that discussion years ago?

I only use my mouse for software development. Just drag and drop and a few clicks and a new OS.

Mouse? I just think "I want a new OS." and my computer does it for me!

That's _virtual reality_ programming.
Give a shrug and write a new program.

This is so not like the late 90's, where designers moved into the web development space and WYSIWYG tools boomed. Not even a little!

Developers dread the delays for a C++ project to build, but Zapcc, a variation on the Clang/LLVM compiler, cuts those wait times by half or more Faster build times? But then how are you going to know when to go for a break?

In college, an Ingres database system was being used that dragged the system to its knees. We learned to create command files to compile, link and run our applications. We'd start it and walk away.. eat, play cards, come back later, check on it, repeat.
Thanks for the memories...

Perhaps they can speed up its implementation of C++17.
(Setting up your builds correctly is usually a better solution. Oh, and comprehensive unit tests will likely take longer than the build.)

"Zapcc works by caching header files ..."
They just reinvented precompiled headers!

but but but this is totally different...
Instead of a file on your file system, they've got an entire server process running to hog your ram and cpu too.

I know it is deeply unfashionable to follow links in articles, but if you had bothered, you may realise that what they are doing is actually quite different. Even better, it doesn't require taking action to indicate that certain files should be precompiled (stdafx.h) or other non-portable solutions, it just caches the data structures it creates to represent headers, and re-uses them on subsequent compilations.
Hopefully though the whole effort will be wasted when Modules finally make it into C++. That is the correct solution to this problem.

I read the article; it's form of precompiled headers, just putting the burden somewhere else. The notion of caching headers has been done before--I recall an identical concept going back to the early 1990s (so this isn't even evolutionary) and it had some serious logical problems, one of which is that settings can change every so slightly between different compilation units and tracking those, let alone caching all the permutations, is difficult.

I found a simple and easy way to speed up compilation. This is something I call proactive header protection. I first got the idea from microsoft's headers for windows. The idea is instead of the passive form of header file protection where there is ifdef protection in the header, the proactive form does two things : repeated inclusion of a file is an error and the include protection is done externally, before including the file. Here is an example of how it is used :
In the header file:
#ifndef HEADERFILE_H
#define HEADERFILE_H
#else
#error repeated include of this file.
#endif
That is how the header is used in the source.
I find it is also important to make every header file self-sufficient in the sense that including a given file does not require any other files with it. It includes everything necessary for a given module to safely include it and all includes are protected as shown.
In my experience (of several decades) this can speed up compilation of projects considerably, especially with large projects.

I fail to see how this is somehow news (check the forum) 
Anyway, December is Christmas shopping and, in The Netherlands, we also have Sinterklaas (and Black White colored chimney-sweeper f*** it, just Black, Piet) so no, it won't be quiet
