Caching

[maralorn]

Describe the feature you’d like to be implemented

Hey there. ghciwatch looks awesome!

I was wondering if ghciwatch supports caching the compiled bytecode to disk so that it can start faster on a restart. I assume it doesn’t but let me know if it does.

I fear this is a complicated feature, especially since cache invalidation has to be done right, but it would be super nice. ghcid restart times are currently one of my major time drains during development.

List alternatives to the feature and their pros and cons

Additional context

HLS does this via hiedb or something as far as I know so it is at least not technically impossible.

I can totally see this as a won’t fix, but I wanted to share the idea.
