MLIR: A Compiler Infrastructure for the End of Moore's Law
I have a very hard time believing this will be as good as the abstract claims for anything but what the team at Google who developed this is using it for. The claims are quite extravagant and the case studies supplied were underwhelming (though I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that its been useful for tensor flow).<p>In particular, I would bet that MLIR is overfit for it's goal, which is not a problem for anything other than the claim that it's suppose to a more abstract setting for all matters of DSL and compiler infrastructure. Compilers often have many intermediate languages, so saying that Rust and friends have one on top of LLVM is not surprising nor convincing.
