Counterpoint - I implemented a Common Lisp compiler that uses llvm as the back end (https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp). I've kept up with the versions from 3.6 to 6.0 and I'm about to upgrade to 7.0. I'm not sure why other projects find this difficult but I have noticed that if I get too far behind it does get a bit more difficult. I exposed the C++ API to Common Lisp and write all of the compiler in Common Lisp. The Clang C++ compiler tells me what is broken when I upgrade to a new version of llvm and then I fix it. I talk about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=mbdXeRBbgDM&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=mbdXeRBbgDM&feature... at about 13:30
