GNU Make defaults to a single worker, and newer build tools (e.g. ninja) default to the number of physical CPUs.I wish there was an option for 'leave me a little bit of my machine to do stuff'.
I would have thought that invoking a C compiler would be a solved problem. Looking at Rust's cc crate there's a remarkable long tail of corner cases to fix.
Exotic CPUs, microarchitectures, compiler differences, operating system differences, etc.
