i feel like if you have an entire support matrix predicated on whether your fucked up build process can build your fucked up fork maybe it's time to reconsider your priorities. like why are you owning that internal build in the first place? i need to make sure i've got this right

like come on

# Indicates whether the LLVM testsuite is enabled in the build or not. Does
# not execute the tests as part of the build as part of x.py build et al,
# just makes it possible to do `ninja check-llvm` in the staged LLVM build
# directory when doing LLVM development as part of Rust development.
#llvm.tests = false

did no one question "hey why do we need to set these things here in the first place if it doesn't matter and we can just delegate to llvm's existing build system?"? idk

👀 Wow, hold your horses! Zig builds are apparently breaking the sound barrier now. 🚀 After years of intense labor and a bit of #LLVM yeeting, they've achieved the unimaginable: a #compiler that might finally compile something before your coffee goes cold. ☕️🔥

This is not helping me in the market but what I love doing the most is computer language engineering. I'm learning how to write an #LSP right now to support my born language in neovim. I also discovered #LLVM recently. It lets you compile to any target from a generic ASM. It made me realize something. The first languages where all compiled. Then, we got the interpreted languages. But recently, the new languages are all compiled again! Think of #rust, #go, #zig, #elixir. I wonder if it's because we perfected the tooling in a way that maintaining a compiled language is not that hard anymore. Go is a weird one. It has a garbage collector. Yeah! A compiled language with a garbage collector. It means that there is a process that is embedded in the executable to just do garbage collection. We might now have a real reason anymore to interpret.

TPDE Compiler Back-End Framework

https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.22610

"TPDE-LLVM: a standalone back-end for LLVM-IR, which compiles 10--20x faster than LLVM -O0 with similar code quality, usable as library (e.g., for JIT), as tool (tpde-llc), and integrated in Clang/Flang (with a patch)."

Holy cow! 🤯
