D comparison is very apt: Rust also would have one frontend with three backends, GCC, LLVM, and its own (Cranelift).

- mwcampbell 7y ago> its own (Cranelift) Interesting. This is the first I've heard of Cranelift being used as anything other than a code generator for wasm runtimes. When would Cranelift be used instead of LLVM, and vice versa?
- amaranth 7y agoSo far the goal is faster debug builds, both in compile times and performance of the generated code.
