Deadcode Removal Layer for My Compiler in Less Than 140 LOC

The Take

This is a concise dead-code-elimination pass implemented as ~140 LOC of readable Rust: it walks op dependencies via a match over Op variants, collects reachable OpRefs, and prunes the op pool. It’s not reinventing compiler theory, but the implementation is tidy and immediately pluggable into a small IR/dataflow project — useful as a reference or drop-in optimizer. Lacking benchmarks, docs on integration, or tests, it’s more of a pragmatic utility than a research contribution.

I built yawdl a tiny language that compiles in the browser

The author actually implemented a browser-side compiler using an Ohm.js grammar so you can write UI { } and Script { } blocks in one .yawdl file and have routing/metadata handled without a server. It’s a clever, compact experiment that’s useful for personal sites and tinkering, but it’s still early and a bit brittle — not yet compelling enough to replace Svelte/ASTRO-style single-file workflows.
