We just need the interpreter support then I’ll have only one editor for everything!

you can take advantage of the incremental build. So instead of having to recompile arrow-rs from scratch (thats a nice walk around the block!) it will only need to compile the last few crates.

The issue is not "excessive rebuilds" but instead not being able to take advantage of incremental compilation that cargo provides.

If your .cargo folder isn't persisted across CI invocations every crate has to be recompiled from scratch. If you can maintain the cache... 👉🏼

Seeing now this this specific to rextendr too. Would you mind making an rextendr issue? We can probably make a GHA template in the package

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing on 1 April of Tomáš Kalibera, a valuable member of the R Core Team for close to 10 years, after a short but aggressive illness.

Tomáš is survived by his wife and 1 year old son. A full obituary will be posted in due time.
