New Rust compiler built from scratch
A brand new Rust compiler being built from scratch with the goal of radically improving Rust compile times, applying the same approach used to create agent-built C++ compilers that compile about 4x faster than GCC and Clang. The compiler is not yet at the self-hosting stage, but early results are promising.

Problem: Slow Rust compile times

“I'm taking a radical approach to improving rust compile times. The reason it is radical is it involves building a brand new rust compiler.”
