Summary
@akarahdev wrote a very nice top-level overview on reddit which I think could be used to improve the existing (and a bit outdated) overview of the compiler.

Research direction
Start with the overview at rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/overview.html and compare it with the referenced Reddit explanation of how Rust transforms into machine code. Update the compiler's top-level description so it incorporates the useful overview while remaining appropriate for the guide. Done means the overview page clearly reflects the improved explanation.
