Hi Russel –
Thanks for trying out Mason and hopefully I can help you with some of your
questions!
The `mason run` command does have the option to compile and run using `mason
run --build`. Right now, Chapel’s compile time is a bit long so we deviated
from cargo in that respect. This will change, however, when we implement a
`build on last modified` functionality for mason that will work similar to
Makefiles and Cargo. The progress of this functionality can be seen on GitHub
-- https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/issues/9843
Mason cannot handle developer dependencies as of right now, but it is on the
list of TODO’s. If you have other features that you would like to see, please
feel free to comment on our GitHub issue about improving mason -
https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/issues/7106
Mason will be more actively developed as I am rejoining the team for a second
summer. I hope to make significant progress on the remaining issues and hope to
produce some cool, and helpful features for our users!
Thanks again for using Chapel and trying out Mason!
Sam
