Before this they argued that my work on my LLVM backend was a waste of time because AI could do it faster and that doing it well doesn't matter.
So yeah, they can fuck right off lol

Holy shit, I have string concatenation working... using LLVM calls.

because it is a one time task. i.e. llvm rewrites whatever inputs to a compiled binary and then it is done and you can check that output is correct and don't contain vulnerabilities. You can definitely try to target llvm with some carefully crafted input but it is not running with a final binary

I thought gc used llvm under the hood? The more you know i guess. Yeah from my experience llvm seems to be the easiest when developing across platforms

Sorry if it is a dumb question but the Rust compiler (written in Rust) targets LLVM, which is written in C++
Why is that not a source of vulnerabilities?

gcc and msvc both exist, but llvm seems to be the easiest to work with across multiple platforms

I was really convinced that LLVM performed TCO!

people look at c/c++/etc compiler output for very specific reasons bc source->machine translation is usually *correct* if not always as efficient as you want but I doubt we're at llvm-like reliability in natural language->source translations for llms.

LLVM no longer crashes when compiling code for the N64 so... Rust in Super Mario 64.

One reason I might move to Zig or Rust if not LLVM directly:
Its not possible to mix datatypes safely in C so a general purpose primitive that can be any type is not practical.

One of the coolest things I've seen lately (...in Rust, ironically) is cranelift.dev . it's... Good. Roughly "what if llvm, but good".
I've been working with it and on bootstrap of some compiler and language guts.
It's ambitious and I've strafed away lately, but I think it's possible.

you know you're doing things right when you run into bugs in the Xtensa LLVM backend
and also slopped it onto embedded so now I can run it on my ESP32s

My father-in-law is a programmer. We were talking about LLVM years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… “We can't, we don't know how to do it.”
