>There's tutorials for doing so from O'Caml [http://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/]
That looks really neat. I had watched this*: [http://vimeo.com/14313378] weeks back, subsequently flipping through Appel's "Modern Compiler Implementation in ML", but ultimately deciding the book to be too boring. This, on the other hand, is pretty inciting. However, I still couldn't bring myself to deal with an additional compiler as long as gcc+valgrind+qemu+vx32 continue to work. I also wouldn't touch LLVM before all the opportunities for synergy between lunix and Plan9 created by Golang are exhausted, and I think there are lots of them. (Is 9Go still unfinished even?) *Not really recommended because it is too long, though it did turn me on to the O'Caml language. >> Is this a trick to get C++ back on Plan9?? > was it ever?
