Description

I really like how https://rust.godbolt.org/ shows the assembly generated side-by-side, removes the "cruft" of the assembly output, and uses colors to represent from which code which parts of the assembly were generated.

The play ground should do this for assembly too. It would also be great if it could do this for MIR and LLVM IR as well.

Research direction

Begin by comparing the requested behavior with https://rust.godbolt.org/, focusing on side-by-side assembly, removal of assembly cruft, and source-to-assembly coloring. Determine how the playground currently exposes assembly, MIR, and LLVM IR output. Done means the relevant outputs support the requested presentation and remain usable in the playground.
