> The biggest issue I face daily are silent compiler errors (SIGBUS) for trivial things, e.g. a typo in an import path.

I don't use zig. My experience has been that caches themselves are sources of bugs (not talking about zig only, but in general). Clearing all relevant caches occasionally is useful when you're experiencing weird bugs.

I don't know why I was downvoted here. One day, I was experiencing weird compilation errors. Clearing the `ccache` C/C++ compiler cache helped get past the problem. Yes, I could have investigated in detail what was the issue and if ccache had a bug but sometimes you don't have the luxury of investigating everything your toolchain throws at you.
You don't use it, but you're offering unsolicited advice about it, and that advice is very generic.

It's not even an argument that you're wrong, just that it's not contributing much and people think that other replies should come first.
