thanks! I would have asked on stream but I'm in a bit of a different timezone than usual so my ability to track livestream times competently has regressed.

As an aside, do you think in the near future there will be a "guide to building a compiler backend" either in-project or by the community?

I'm not aware of any such effort. The only thing of relevance I have to share on the topic is the new Legalize pass which can ease the job of contributing a backend, because it restricts the subset of AIR instructions that a backend must lower based on a set of features the backend opts into. For example, it can scalarize all the vectors so the backend does not have to be vector-aware.
