The single-pass compiler produces 1MB static binaries and includes built-in ML primitives for training neural networks. Jda aims to combine scripting-speed iteration with native performance.", "body_md": "The Hook: Slow compile times are a major pain point for systems engineers. Jda's 42ms average compile time is a game-changer.\n\n- Key Points:\n- Why a single-pass compiler is \"fast enough\" and produces 1MB static binaries.\n- The \"Scripting speed + Native performance\" workflow.\n- Built-in ML primitives: Training neural networks in a language that compiles in the blink of an eye.\n👉 Try it:\n[jdalang.org/docs/getting-started](//jdalang.org/docs/getting-started)👉 GitHub:[github.com/jdalang/jda-lang](//github.com/jdalang/jda-lang)👉 Discussions:[github.com/jdalang/jda-lang/discussions](//github.com/jdalang/jda-lang/discussions)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/33x-faster-than-rust-why-i-stopped-waiting-for-my-compiler-and-built-my-own", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/jai_lalawat_84c750c65b525/33x-faster-than-rust-why-i-stopped-waiting-for-my-compiler-and-built-my-own-3l40", "published_at": "2026-05-26 03:53:46+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-26 04:03:24.080682+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["machine-learning", "neural-networks", "ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Jda"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/33x-faster-than-rust-why-i-stopped-waiting-for-my-compiler-and-built-my-own", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/33x-faster-than-rust-why-i-stopped-waiting-for-my-compiler-and-built-my-own.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/33x-faster-than-rust-why-i-stopped-waiting-for-my-compiler-and-built-my-own.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/33x-faster-than-rust-why-i-stopped-waiting-for-my-compiler-and-built-my-own.jsonld"}}
