It's mostly pretty hard, although it's not the same reason through each of the stages involved - the short answer is that translation mostly involves walking over graphs, including the inter-procedural call graph, and propagating information. In one stage the graph is known mostly ahead of time, but otherwise it's being built as it goes, which means the job list probably stays pretty small. If we managed to make that stage parallel, we'd probably lose out on the fact that several of the steps work by mutating the model, so we'd either need a concurrency model that dealt with that or separate compilation to work. -- William Leslie Notice: Likely much of this email is, by the nature of copyright, covered under copyright law.
