Firefox did, while they did MemShrink project: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Performance/MemShrink. I note that Rust is in part developed by the same organization that brought a successful MemShrink project, so you should be more hopeful.

Nice. On the other hand, I feel like people will tolerate high memory usage in a compiler much more than they will in a browser. Memory usage in general is very different between the two - in a compiler it will perform many allocations and discard quickly, whereas the pain in a browser is more likely sustained memory usage from long-running instances.
