+title: Introduction to qbe
+---
+
+**Abstract**
+
+> qbe is an optimizing compiler backend which consumes programs in a simple
+> intermediate language, optimizes them, and emits assembly for x86_64, aarch64,
+> or riscv64, aiming to achieve "70% of the performance" of advanced compilers
+> like LLVM in "10% of the code". This talk will briefly introduce qbe and its
+> intermediate language, explain how it works and what it's capable of, and go
+> over some sample programs which can be written in it.
