from the readme : > The developers of the project are keen “Rustaceans” with a desire to give back to the Rust community and to learn what GCC is capable of when it comes to a modern language. So what's the answer right now ? How does GCC measures "against" rust ?

Front-end–independent optimizations are still slightly better in GCC than in LLVM.

  I wouldn't say 'better'. Certainly, they're different. GCC does better in some ways, but worse in others. Somewhat notably, GCC doesn't do as good of a job at register allocation on some RISC architectures.

Given the amount of existing frontends for GCC, even if not included in the main branch, not sure what they imply as modern. Ada, D, Go, Modula-3, Modula-2, C++20

  RIP gcj.

    Yeah, sadly. The project never had much developers, because tackling AOT compilation for Java, alongside its dynamism, is an effort that requires a full time job, so only the commercial offerings like Excelsior JET were competitive.
