> Integrating these hermetic build systems together is like writing a toxic yuri with characters that don't see eye to eye and all want to be the protagonist: you have to develop their enemies to lovers arc to have them want to kiss.

I love the references

#buildsystems

Getting FFI to compile is the easy part. The harder questions are about distribution: prebuilt binaries across platforms, libraries that must be built from source, and making all of it reliable in CI.

Marcel Koch (@m) compares a custom binary download approach against Conan, using Flutter Rust Bridge as the integration point.

🤔 Is this a #Composer normalization quirk caused by how #PHP encodes empty vs non-empty maps when regenerating composer.lock?

`stability-flags` is logically a map, but when empty Composer may serialize it as `[]` instead of `{}` especially after;

composer update --prefer-dist --prefer-stable

- Same dependency graph
- Different lockfile bytes / hash

Semantic determinism ✅
Byte-level determinism ❌

New post: The New Bottleneck

AI agents generate code faster than build systems can compile it. What was once a problem for large orgs is getting democratized.

At @tuist we want to make developer productivity accessible to everyone.
