08/18/2015, 4:42 PMwe have such tiny targets already that I'm not sure how much we'd get from that, but it sounds very valuable in the general case - w

08/18/2015, 4:42 PMmicro where a developer iterates locally on fixing their code - w

witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:42 PMwell, the idea is to score the edges - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:43 PMso other analysis is possible in a macro mode - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:43 PMwhere you just dump all the connectedness edges - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:43 PMfor your entire codebase - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:44 PMbecause in theory you could also merge...? lower compiler overhead maybe? definitely less buildfile overhead - h
happy-kitchen-89482
08/18/2015, 4:45 PMtrue, although we're aspiring to a future with no buildfiles... - h
happy-kitchen-89482
08/18/2015, 4:45 PMor almost none anyway - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:45 PMi think that unlike build file generation tools, this will still be relevant - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:45 PMbecause i think people will still want to decide which directories should be treated as packages - h
happy-kitchen-89482
08/18/2015, 4:45 PMyes, but not for reducing buildfile overhead - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:46 PMright - h
happy-kitchen-89482
08/18/2015, 4:46 PMI can imagine this being used to decide how to partition the code automagically - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:46 PMyea, for sure. - h
happy-kitchen-89482
08/18/2015, 4:46 PMso that targets are the right size, and not just "as small as possible" - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:46 PMwell - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:46 PMi mean, i think it makes a good guide - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:47 PMif a tool tells me i should break up finagle-core into more libraries, i've got to find flashy names for each of them =P - h
happy-kitchen-89482
08/18/2015, 4:47 PMyes, breaking up a single package requires some name creativity - h
happy-kitchen-89482
08/18/2015, 4:47 PMre buildfile generation tools: - h
happy-kitchen-89482
08/18/2015, 4:49 PMI'm a tiny bit perturbed that there are now two bits of code for extracting deps from source files - w

08/18/2015, 4:49 PM3+ - h
happy-kitchen-89482
08/18/2015, 4:49 PMwell, two scalac compiler plugins for doing this from the AST - h
happy-kitchen-89482
08/18/2015, 4:50 PMWas there a reason not to use the one from buildgen? - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/18/2015, 4:50 PMi had no clue about our internal rendition: it's not used in pants - h
