Beyond rustc: Reimagining Rust Compiler Design for Radical Performance Gains

Rust's compiler has hit a performance plateau that incremental improvements can't overcome—the real gains require rethinking compiler architecture entirely. Krabby represents an ambitious attempt to prove this is possible, potentially revealing optimization strategies applicable to compiler design across languages. For developers working with Rust, this experimental approach could influence the future direction of compilation performance and usher in a new generation of language tooling.
