(Discussion of the LLVM-free compiler begins at 10:30 in the video.)
As someone who hasn't been following this: improved compile-times seem achievable, but they surely can't hope to compete with LLVM in terms of opimisation, can they?
Is the new backend intended to be used for quicker dev builds, or for final release builds too? From a look here [0] it seems to be the latter - full removal of LLVM for all builds - which surprises me.
