Their x86 backend seems to be more complete, bypassing LLVM and allowing for fast debug builds.

Rust has a Cranelift-based backend that you can use for that.

    It sadly helps a lot less than you would hope. A true dev backend can be many times faster than llvm to compile code. Crane lift is more like a 1.5x or 2x. Not to mention a lot of time is spent in the rust frontend.
