blaze

What is blaze?

Blaze is a Rust build tool that uses standard cargo commands but rebuilds edited files in milliseconds. It was created at ix for the den native application. The tool replaces traditional compilation waits with instant feedback while maintaining compatibility with existing workflows.

The platform includes a five-part interactive course that explains how modern Rust builds function. Each lesson covers a single concept, such as incremental compilation, proc macros, and hermetic builds. Users answer occasional questions to verify understanding, and their progress saves locally in the browser without transmitting data.

Technical features include sandboxed WebAssembly execution for caching proc macro output, pinned download hashes for build scripts, and a benchmarking dashboard that compares performance against standard cargo. The project is licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0.
