That's why there's nothing that comes close to LLVM and MLIR, right?

If he's such a horrible engineer then we should have lots of LLVM replacements, right?

QBE is a tiny project, but I think illustrates a better intermediate language design. https://c9x.me/compile/

  • Except performance isn't great and it covers far fewer platforms. It aims for 70% performance but the few benchmarks I've seen show more like 30-50% performance.

    It's a cool project and I'd consider it for a toy language but it's far from an LLVM replacement.
