were people familiar with mozilla’s sccache (
https://github.com/mozilla/sccache) for distributed compilation? i just learned about it a few minutes ago and it touches a lot of use cases (configuring build servers to connect to, doing hermetic compiles and providing a toolchain, supporting rust) that are relevant to our interests.
in terms of things we can use it for directly (
https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/blob/master/docs/DistributedQuickstart.md), i think the most immediate would be introducing a rust toolchain to hermetic process executions in a structured way (i know rust language support is not an immediate priority, but this is essentially the first blocker to starting that i think). i think it’s likely we could steal a few ideas from the project regarding configuration, process scheduling, as well as object storage, although i’m not sure yet what method it uses for that last one.
