Hm. I can see why they'd build some of these features, but there's some significant downsides. The VFS in particular will end up a poor experience when a transitory network problem causes apps to hang when pulling code. What happens if you 'grep -r', or if 'mlocate' indexes it?

On the build side.... holy jesus, are they really compiling 40 different dependencies from scratch every time they push code? This build has been running for 5 minutes and it's still just compiling dependencies: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/eden/runs/5997101905... Come on, ya'll. You're supposed to be the "advanced FAANG people". Cache some build deps, will ya?
