I'm so blessed to have access to somewhat powerful computers. It's hard to imagine how to write industrial #rust without even a reasonably modern #Intel CPU.

@jonn dont think the cpu brand matters tho

@laund how so? I thought that Intel is throttled by their hardware vulnerability workarounds! Also, I heard Apple's ARM CPUs are #blazinglyFast.

@jonn What I meant is that you don't specifically need a modern Intel CPU. Any modern higher-end CPU will do - be that Intel, Amd or Apple

@laund fair enough. It reminds me of the issue we had in #GHC where basically throwing cores at compilation worked up till you had like 16 cores, but below that the bottleneck was the module dependency graph building inside the compiler so parallel compilation speed-up was non-existent.

(Should say "beyond that", obviously).
