Undocumented in public but I’m sure you could ask the right colleagues internally :) <https://github.com/google/turbine|https://github.com/google/turbine>

This is interesting, but has little documentation. <@U0FCV4RND> Could I get a TLDR on what this does?

basically creates stub jars with signatures only

so you can compile against an API even if it’s not implemented

Oh huh interesting. So this is separate than say a traditional API jar with interfaces only?

same idea but could include non-public API

It's even better than just not implemented. Because it only has to parse signatures and not method bodies the stub jar can be made available before the regular jar. This means downstream dependencies can start compiling before you're done fully compiling upstream deps.

Same is true for annotation processors. They can start running before the real jar of the module is compiled. It's basically kapt's stubs for for javac
