As you can see from the benchmarks, it works basically as well as industrial C/C++ compilers like Clang (if not slightly better) and GCC (although GCC's older and more optimised backend leaps ahead of the LLVM-based compilers in some cases).

I'm planning follow up posts which may involve more assembly/IR, but this is designed to be an introduction/high-level post, and the graphs are meant to serve as a summary/replacement for digging through reems of assembly.
