y'all realize that this thing (terra) was a phd project that is (for a long time) fully abandoned by the guy that did the phd (zach) right?

> Terra programs use the same LLVM backend that Apple uses for its C compilers

lol is this a flex? or is it just dated? everyone uses LLVM for all of their compilers.

  If the project is actively maintained after 10 years, it means he created a sustainable foundation.
  If you're aware of specific open issues with the project, identified by the founder or others, please share details.
