First, I assume that the main Rust compiler uses LLVM. I also assume (big leap here!) that the LLVM optimization process is language agnostic (ChatGPT agrees, whatever that is worth). As long as the language frontend can compiler to LLVM language-independent intermediate representation (IR), then all languages can equally benefit from the optimizer.
