What does HackerNews think of icecream?

Distributed compiler with a central scheduler to share build load

Language: C++

If you like distcc, did you ever give icecc a try?

I never had the time to set it up properly, but by the looks of it, it should be even better.

is this the icecream you speak of? https://github.com/icecc/icecream I've never heard of it so I was intrigued.
rollcall of essential tools if you are in C/C++ land:

no build should be without https://ccache.dev/, and after that, distcc https://distcc.github.io/, icecream https://github.com/icecc/icecream, and goma https://chromium.googlesource.com/infra/goma/ may be used for distributing the workload.
