It&#x27;s interesting to compare and contrast this against bytecode from other platforms like CIL or JVM bytecode. They&#x27;re both essentially a kind of compiler IR and they allow for incremental compilation, can be interpreted, dynamically manipulated, structed as basic blocks, etc. But MIR is represented using a textual form that still has scoping and which still uses Rust syntax. I can see the appeal. But I wonder how much it complicates working with MIR. You&#x27;d need a more complex parser, I guess.
