llvm, clang, and swift are all horrible so its not surprising the creator washed out when asked to do something more significant.

unusually bad shaggar opinion. the rest is of lesser relevance, but llvm is a clear-cut Good Thing

llvm is a generalized compiler backend, used for all kinds of actually sensible things, whenever you need to generate code really. for example the directx hlsl compiler https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler (and pretty much all opencl compilers similarly)

i rather love emscripten as well (compile anything with a llvm frontend into javascript, i.e. take legacy c codebase and push it to the client), despite it being a rather dirty thing, but anything to not have to do javascript

i really would argue that the guy has finished compiler work. if he wanted to continue he would have to go into fundamental research mode. so likely very sensible to try to switch out up. less sensible to go to tesla, but oh well
