Looking at those slides and watching the first part of the talk, it sounds as if he's re-invented LLVM IR, and poorly.

- 77pt77 10y agoWhy LLVM specifically? there are many intermediate representations.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y agoFirst one I thought of and also you can write it directly.
- chubot 10y agoIf it's a lot smaller and serves their purpose, it's not implemented poorly. And if it compiles 10x as fast, which it probably does (I'm not a heavy Go user.) Also I think this representation is different architecturally. Go now uses an SSA representation apparently, which would be the equivalent of LLVM IR AFAIK. This assembly language is more toward the backend where as the IR is more like the "middle end".
