We agree on a lot of things, but QBE is off the table. Complexity and kloc are loosely correlated. Cranelift and libfirm are of equivalent size while Cranelift is in Rust and has wonderful compiler engineers working on it. https://c9x.me/git/qbe.git/tree/rega.c https://c9x.me/git/qbe.git/tree/rega.c QBE is a one person performance art project.
