Description
Wire’s compiler is simple and single threaded. This is fine for small projects but problematic for very large ones.
Let's figure out how to do these things in parallel:
- parallel schema loading
- parallel code generation
(I don't think we want parallel linking; that's too difficult!)

Research direction
Start by locating Wire's compiler entry points for schema loading and code generation, then map their dependencies and current single-threaded flow. Done means schema loading and code generation can run in parallel while linking remains out of scope, with behavior preserved for large projects.
