The load time improvements are amazing. Thanks to everyone that was involved. I've been using it locally for months now simply because of this feature and I had to update my "how to deal with compile-time" blog post (https://sciml.ai/news/2022/09/21/compile_time/) to basically say system images really aren't needed anymore with these improvements. With that and the improvements to parallel compilation I tend to not care about "first time to X" anymore. To me it's solved and I'm onto other things (though I personally need to decrease the precompilation time of DifferentialEquations.jl, but all of the tools exist in v1.10 and that's on me to do, ya'll have done your part!).
I think some of the really cool tooling improvements will likely require lowering to also be rewritten, but there already are a number of pretty nice tooling improvements that are available with JuliaSyntax.
Indeed, autocorrect got a lot better. That coupled with how the stack traces and error messages are so much better now, I really cannot recommend anyone use anything but v1.10. Some releases are a more incremental (v1.7, v1.8), but this one and v1.9 have been some massive advancements. It almost feels like another language with the VS Code integrations just performing a lot better and the startups feeling smooth. I think it's now time to focus on binaries and interfaces.
