hot take apparently unsandboxed code that runs as part of compiler macros on the dev machine maybe isn't a good idea full stop
@wamwoowam This about Serde?
@radfordhound i'm not exactly versed on the specific situation more just looking at the surface of things

@wamwoowam Yeah same here. I heard Serde was downloading/running precompiled binaries to avoid long compilation times? But, also that it only saves like 2 seconds?

It sounds like there's a deeper problem here. The compiler shouldn't be so slow that you feel the need to do that lol. And, it doesn't sound like it even is *that* slow? (Well, at least relative to C++ which has long compile times)

@wamwoowam But yes, ofc, I agree. It's a bad idea to discreetly download and run arbitrary binaries as part of a compiler macro.
