Comparing Rust with LLVM and Rocklink for Compiler Optimization

In this chapter, functional programmers share their journey of choosing Rust over Haskell or C++ when working on a raw compiler, citing Rust's performance potential with low-level optimizations like SIMD. They discuss the benefits and drawbacks of using LLVM as a compiler backend infrastructure, highlighting Rocklink's custom assembly backends for faster compilation and execution. The conversation delves into Rust's documentation structure, its similarities with Haskell, and the explicitness in Rust's implementation that aids in understanding and manipulating hardware at a low level.
