MLIR sound interesting, but look like is totally dependant's on C++?
One of the problems of the article is how many compiler infra is re-made. But a big reason is that if you are doing Python, for example, you don't wanna touch C++.
In fact, nobody wanna touch C++, except(maybe!) C++ devs :)
- pjmlp 4y agoOne of the first customers of MLIR is the Fortran compiler for LLVM. I only do Python when doing systems programming in UNIX that outgrow bash scripts, or scritping software that uses Python as their scripting language. Then again, I enjoy using C++ despite its flaws. :)
- TazeTSchnitzel 4y agoLLVM IR is usable from any language with a C ABI, Python included. There are bindings for various languages built on its C interface, e.g. OCaml.
- mamcx 4y agoI know about LLVM, but MLIR? Is the same? And for the look of it, look like is not something that is viable to do without using C++?
