Then imagine how much memory your least favorite IDE can consume

Wouldn't happen to be a bazel project would it?

Yes…

🥲

Wouldn't happen to have JVM/Kotlin targets would it?

I have a lot of beef with how JVM workers in the bazel tool chain operate. But I think the issue extends to other greedy VM based compilers.

C++, Rust, Python and TS/JS

Oof. Yeah not as familiar with the TS tool chain there, but I bet it's using that same worker pattern. VM grows large per worker, doesn't conservatively scale down.

And it's especially bad in Linux environments where the JVM assumes it can operate in "server" mode with rather aggressive heap policies
