The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

What is LLVM?


I was wondering what exactly is LLVM, what does the ability to make a front-end for any language mean, and what is the IR?

I found something really cool:

It basically is a step-by-step explanation of how to make an LLVM front-end for your own language!
