My main concern with LLVM is that it adds 30+ million lines of code dependency to any language that relies on it.
Part of the reason I'm not ready to go all in on Rust is that I'm not willing to externalize that much complexity in the programs I make.
- MeetingsBrowser 9mo agoWhat language do you typically use?
- cardanome 9mo agoQBE might be more to your liking: https://c9x.me/compile/ https://c9x.me/compile/ It is used in the Hare language
- lenkite 9mo agoThe Rust compiler also uses LLVM right ?
- dubi_steinkek 9mo agomainly, but it also supports alternative codegen backends (cranelift, rustc_codegen_gcc)
- melodyogonna 9mo agoDoes it? One of LLVM's main selling points is modularisation. You can mix and match components; you don't have to depend on the entire monorepo
