What's the optimal developer work flow?

Hello, I'm new to rinf and saw you must recompile to see Rust code changes. This makes the developer experience a bit slow when iterating. Do you have any suggestions on how to speed up the iteration process?

Hi @xdeposition :)

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a better solution here. One of the ways to do that faster can be using some developer features in VScode, such as pressing F5 to run the app.

Thanks for the response! Is there a target that tends to compiles faster e.g. web? I haven't tried that yet.

I haven't really compared the differences, but I recommend debugging on native platforms when building a normal app.

The web platform uses JavaScript to mimic native behaviors, so there can be slight differences.

Rust compile time is generally slow, regardless whenever it's a native platform or a web. Therefore, running on web might be a bit faster as you don't need to compile an app native code. If you are targeting web, then it might be better to compile to web first, as WASM have lots of pitfalls, especially in concurrent runtime. If Rust code works in WASM it's more likely for it to work on a native platform than the other way around.
