Weld is a language and runtime for improving the performance of data-intensive applications. It optimizes across libraries and functions by expressing the core computations in libraries using a common intermediate representation, and optimizing across each framework

closing all reference issue now, though I don't remember if Weld mentioned how it does garbage collection, or it does not have it, most talk are quite shallow, the blog is simply introducing the ast with a very simple 1 + 2 -> 3 optimization in transformer (though it might be the goal of the blog, just introduce how rust is good, compared C++ w/o pattern matching ....?)
