Another angle on this:
As it is know, Uber - and some other heavily-capitalized firms (BigTech or otherwise) - use Zig (at least) for "straightforward" C++ compilation.
- What about asking your managers to seriously fund the Zig project?
It's only fair from all the value you're getting from it. And, then, reinventing an important part of the huge wheel that's LLVM wouldn't be such a seemingly unfeasible tall order.
Uber has a support contract[0] with the Zig Software Foundation.
