Cranelift is an Apache-2.0-licensedcode-generation backend being developed as partof the Wasmtime runtime forWebAssembly.In October 2023, the Rust project made Cranelift available as an optionalcomponent in its nightly toolchain.Users can now use Cranelift as the code-generation backend for debug builds ofprojects written in Rust,making it an opportune time to look at what makes Cranelift different.Cranelift is designed to compete with existing compilers by generatingcode more quickly than they can, thanks to a stripped-down design that prioritizesonly the most important optimizations.
