Key projects include facet (a reflection-based serialization library with JIT compilation), dodeca (a static site generator with advanced caching), rapace (an IPC/RPC framework using shared memory), picante (an async query system inspired by salsa), and vixen (an ambitious build tool aiming to combine buck2's performance with cargo's ergonomics). The author also created supporting tools like arborium (tree-sitter grammar distribution), pikru (diagram rendering), and various format parsers. Most projects dogfood each other, forming an integrated ecosystem focused on developer experience, build performance, and comprehensive caching. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
