Sorry for the stupid question, but even though I try to follow the updates in this zulip, I must have missed something on this one. What is the dev backend, and what is it supposed to achieve?
the dev backend, as I understand, competes with "the interpreter backend"; they are both intended to give quicker feedback on source changes than the optimized compiler. i think the dev backend is LLVM with no optimizations, or optimized for build speed rather than execution speed
