It was a productivity drain even when I was a beginner

Post #219,802 by ben_tilly 8/17/05 6:23:23 PM Reply	It was a productivity drain even when I was a beginner Because I was generally going to look somewhere else for information that I needed to put on that line. Like, say, what a variable was named. Or to select something to cut and paste. As for 100K lines, that isn't one file. That's across the project. But since a lot of that is in modules that load each other, much of that would always be in memory if you're trying to incrementally recompile.

Could you explain what theory of mine (apart from the (hopefully) self-evident one that you and I are not the same) has a flaw and why this makes you persist in wondering why I use Eclipse for Perl, despite the fact that I keep answering the question? I'm serious. You've lost me here.

I stopped asking you that question after [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=219784\|http://z.iwethey.org...?contentid=219784]. The theory that I was responding to was your assertion that incremental compiles sound like a productivity drain to me because I'm an expert. That's not true. They sound like a productivity drain because the implementation that I'm most familiar with sucked badly. (Badly enough for me to notice even when I was a novice.)
