OTH LLVM caused an explosion of languages created by individuals which immediately had competitive performance and a wide range of supported platforms (Zig being one of them!).
The entire realtime rendering industry is essentially built on top of LLVM (or forks of LLVM), even Microsoft have switched their shader compiler to LLVM and is now (finally) starting to upstream their code.
The compiler infrastructure of most game consoles is Clang based (except Xbox which - so far - sticks to MSVC).
So all in all, LLVM has been a massive success, especially for bootstrapping new things.
