> This is indeed a chore in other languages. In Go, the compiler is trivially installed. Typically this just means bumping the version in your Dockerfile and “gvm use $newVersion —default”.

The issue isn't with installing the new compiler, that's trivial in our use case as well (for Rust at least, Python's a disaster, but I accept that). The issue is ensuring compatibility, ensuring no new bugs are introduced, etc. It's just a much heavier change to your produced binary vs changing a package.

Cool, thanks.
