- andrewchambers 11y agoIt is a program representation that a few modern compiler optimization techniques rely on. It just mean there is potential for the compiler to emit better assembly code. Because the compiler is now written in Go, compiler optimization will affect how fast programs compile. The compiler may speed up or slow down because it is doing more advanced code analysis, but is generating better assembly. I do not know if this will cancel itself out or not.
