What is LLVM?
LLVM is a robust compiler infrastructure that enables comprehensive optimization of programs written in diverse programming languages. Designed to handle compilation at various stages - compile-time, link-time, run-time, and even "idle-time" - LLVM's versatile architecture has facilitated the development of compilers for a wide range of languages, including Objective-C, Fortran, Ada, Haskell, Java bytecode, Python, Ruby, ActionScript, GLSL, D, and Rust. This language-agnostic approach has been instrumental in LLVM's widespread adoption and success, making it a powerful tool for developers seeking efficient and optimized code generation across multiple platforms and use cases
