> Vale-specific pre-optimizer, similar to Rust's Cranelift

I think this might instead be MIR, mid-level IR, there’s a good blog post here: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/04/19/MIR.html

Cranelift is a compiler backend, mainly focused on JIT, but theoretically could replace LLVM, there’s an alternative backend being worked on but has limitations: https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift




Yes I think so Cranelift is a Rust optimizer for WebAssembly


Cranelift is a separate compiler backend, not an optimizer.


You two are correct, fixed, thanks!
