I think this is a good point you make. LLVM is good for targetting a family of related systems -- basically Linux, Windows, MacOS. A truly new architecture will either be folded into that family, and thus LLVM will apply, or LLVM won't really help that much.
Though it does target some unusual architectures. I think mainly you'd want to keep it for the shared manpower of optimization. But in Leaf, my IR was low enough that it wouldn't take too much effort to lower it to a target machine code (albeit, it'd be an inefficient machine code compared to LLVM).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
