abstract ;;Quote: Vesta is a functional programming language for building systems
abstract+;;Quote: Vesta caches the results of expensive function calls with precise, dynamic, fine-grained dependencies
313 ;;Quote: a fingerprint is a fixed-size hash of a byte sequence
313+;;Quote: test equality of arbitrary byte sequences by testing their 128-bit fingerprints
313 ;;Quote: index function cache by primary dependencies; i.e., body of function, values of scalar arguments
313+;;Quote: function cache's secondary key is the names and values that the function call depends on
318 ;;Quote: Vesta is faster than make because a single test determines that libraries are up-to-date; avoids unnecessary file stats
318+;;Quote: Vesta should cache all calls, not just runtool calls
