There was a mention of using agents to build projects into WASM. I've had the best luck telling it to use zig to compile to webassembly. It shortens the time to completion by a significant amount.


That's a great tip, thanks! I did not know Zig could do this.

You can "pip install ziglang" and get the right version for different platforms too.


It's not a great tip because there are features that exist specifically to reduce development iteration cycle latency without compiling for the wrong target.

Please refer to https://ziglang.org/download/0.15.1/release-notes.html#Incre...

This has nothing to do with agentic engineering. This is just normal software development. Everybody wants faster compilation speed
