This sounds like great news, Zig's compilation times are already terrific and this is going to only make them better.

> Zig's compilation times are already terrific

In my experience, this (for now) is mostly aspirational. It's obviously a major goal, and there are clear milestones outlined on how to achieve it, but in practice the initial compile of an empty project or the excruciating pause when you `direnv allow` and ZLS needs to be (re)built are not what I'd describe as "terrific".
