I'm often skeptical of the desire to create a lot of passes. In the early Vale compiler, and in the Mojo compiler, we were paying a lot of interest on tech debt because features were put in the wrong pass. We often incurred more complexity trying to make a concept work across passes than we would have had in fewer, larger passes. I imagine this also has analogies to microservices in some way. Maybe other compiler people can weigh in here on the correct number/kind of passes.

Do you have an article on lessons learned?

I'm creating a language/compiler now, and I'm quite certain that I did not have enough passes initially, but I hope I'm at a good spot now - but time will tell.
