+The goal of this project is to create an alternative codegen backend for the rust compiler based on [Cranelift](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/blob/master/cranelift). This has the potential to improve compilation times in debug mode. If your project doesn't use any of the things listed under "Not yet supported", it should probably work fine. If not please open an issue.
