Recently, macOS added a built-in FUSE-like API:

No idea what the performance is like.

However, over the last few years, Apple’s compilers have gotten even more enthusiastic than before about caching and “content addressable storage”:

https://llvm.org/devmtg/2024-10/slides/techtalk/Rastogi-Fine...

Which is normally a good thing, but may exacerbate the issue described in the post where, by enforcing isolation, you end up cutting off the compiler from its caches and making the build slower.

I think the ideal solution would be for Bazel to somehow know about and integrate with LLVM’s CAS.

edit: although just figuring out how to do “explicit module builds” with Swift and Clang would probably get you most of the way.
