# go-fast

Binary snippets for fast compilation Go projects that will increase your free

time in **5x times**.

## go-fast-compile

Just compile your project without linking. This binary is suitable only for

on-save hooks in your favorite editor.

## go-fast-build

Build project only if source code has been changed. This binary is suitable for

daily usage, it's must have binary for integration tests that run on save.

# Efficiency

```bash

for x in `seq 1 20`; do time go build; done 2>&1 | awk '{ x += sprintf("%f", $9); } END { printf x/NR; }'

for x in `seq 1 20`; do time go-fast-compile; done 2>&1 | awk '{ x += sprintf("%f", $8); } END { printf x/NR; }'

```
