I wrote a Nintendo DS emulator in Go (see my GitHub) and ended up seeing lots of missing optimizations in generated code. I opened a few tickets and then focused on BCE. I realized that one of the main problems was the missing transitivity of the pass, so I ended up writing a largish piece of code to implement a partial-order set (see the poset data structure) and then picking on a few low hanging fruits that it opened up to be picked (searching for open tickets on GitHub issues). These were my first contributions to the SSA passes btw.
