I’m not sure which executor you’re using, but there’s some additional approaches to this if you’re using the docker executor. You can save time by pre-installing tools/languages in a custom docker image and using that custom image to run your job. You also have have our pre-built convenience images that allow you to select languages and tools that come pre-installed. If you’re on the machine executor it’s possible to caching somme tools/binaries to help speed up provisioning, but it should already have many languages pre-installed.
