Some parts are, of course, a matter of taste (compiling in backend code rather than having them be separate programs consuming an easy-to-parse canonical form; admittedly that’s in line with the LLVM ethos). But also, honestly, the language—late binding and all—seems a bit like a more ad hoc version of CUE. If I were to look for a tool for a TableGen-shaped problem, that’d probably be the direction I would be thinking in.
