sccache
Sccache is a ccache-like tool. It is used as a compiler wrapper and avoids compilation when possible. Sccache has the capability to utilize caching in remote storage environments, including various cloud storage options, or alternatively, in local storage. (by mozilla)
zapcc
zapcc is a caching C++ compiler based on clang, designed to perform faster compilations (by yrnkrn)

Mozilla sccache: cache with cloud storage
Worth noting that the first commit in sccache git repository was in 2014 (https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/commit/115016e0a83b290dc2...). So I suppose that what "happened" happened waay back.

Target file are very huge and running out of storage on mac.
If you have lots of shared dependencies, maybe try sccache?

S3 Express Is All You Need
I'm going to set up sccache [0] to use it tomorrow. We use MSVC, so EFS is off the cards.

Serde has started shipping precompiled binaries with no way to opt out
I think the primary benefit of pre-built procmacros will be for build servers which don't use a persistent cache (like sccache), since they have to compile all dependencies every time. But IMO improved support for persistent caches would be a better investment compared to adding support for pre-built procmacros.

Distcc: A fast, free distributed C/C++ compiler
https://github.com/mozilla/sccache is another option which addresses the use cases of both icecream and ccache (and also supports Rust, and cloud storage of artifacts, if those are useful for you)

How to fix Rust Coding LARGE files????
That being said a compilation cache, eg the de-facto standard for Rust: sccache (https://github.com/mozilla/sccache) will help to compile and store some of the build artifacts centralized - still for each crate version + build profile (RUSTFLAGS) combination.

On the verge of giving up learning Haskell because of the terrible tooling.
That's definitely not my experience. Never had any issue running Rust on Windows. You just download and run rustup-init.exe, then updating is simply a matter of rustup update. Documentation generation is built in (cargo doc) and just a case of annotating code with triple-/ markdown comments and then running that command. sccache works fine for me (just need to set RUSTC_WRAPPER=/path/to/sccache). And the error messages from rustc are by far the best of any compiler I've used. Not sure how they're unhelpful, they tend to explain step-by-step what the problem is and how to fix it.

"Fast Kernel Headers" Tree -v1: Eliminate the Linux kernel's "Dependency Hell"
C++ modules helps with the parsing problem similar to precompiled headers, but it doesn't help with the code execution at compile time problem. All your overload matching, free function lookup, SFINAE, concept matching, and consteval code needs executing and that can take very considerable time. Other than JITing all that stuff, and maybe running an in-memory server like https://github.com/yrnkrn/zapcc, I don't know what more can be done here.
