Building a Compiler - Optimization and Register Allocation

My compiler works, but it's painfully inefficient. It's time to invent a solution to tracking register state, so that we don't need to do quite so much via the stack. It turns out this is a bit more complicated than my previous back of the napkin sketches!

Why don’t use llvm?
Good video. Would like if you make it shorter for RUclips instead a raw live
I will follow the progress ✌🏻

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

Why everyone writes a compiler in Rust?

[@TotalTimoTime]

Its fast and very safe. Very good language choice for a compiler.

[@TomMarksTalksCodeLIVE]

It's a good project for learning a language, and lots of people are interested in Rust. As @TotalTimoTime mentioned the memory safety features are also very good for making this kind of thing relatively bulletproof.
