What's a GraphQL compiler, and why would you want to (re)write one in Rust? How does Rust measure up compared to JavaScript (and other alternatives) when it comes to building this kind of software?

Robert Balicki (engineer at Meta on the React Data team) talks about the decision and process of rewriting Relay's GraphQL Compiler in Rust, before diving into lessons learned. Watch to learn not only about how Relay is used and why they decided to rewrite its compiler in Rust, but also about the DOs and DON'Ts of writing compiler-like things.
