Description
# Goal
Create an optimizing pass.
# Overview
Go nuts? There is zero static optimization currently, everything written is emitted.
Dead code elimination sounds great. [AssemblyScript does it,](https://github.com/AssemblyScript/assemblyscript/blob/d8fa04f9108bfc9559f50b72ac29547615bb5f4e/tests/compiler/showcase.ts#L76) which is dope.
# Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] It works
- [ ] It's tested
- [ ] It's opt-in and configurable
Contributor guide
Research direction
No Walt source file, entry point, or test is named. Start by locating the compiler's emission pipeline and read the linked AssemblyScript example for dead-code elimination; define the optimizer's scope, configuration, and opt-in behavior before implementing it. Done means optimization works, is tested, and is configurable.
