## Message

```
compiler: un-jit `zig fmt`

This command being JITed leads to a substantially worse first-time user
experience, since you have to wait for upwards of 20 seconds for
`fmt.zig` to build. This is especially bad when your editor is
configured to run `zig fmt` on save and does so in a blocking manner. As
such, it makes sense from a usability perspective to not JIT this
particular command.
