It's also fairly accessible to LLMs. I was surprised at how quickly a self-hosting compiler could be brought up using the LLVM ecosystem.

That's what I've been doing with a custom jank implementation, taking advantage of the LLVM changes contributed upstream to LLVM 22.

LLVM here refers to the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, an open source software system created to simplify the design and implementation of compilers and a wide range of compiler-based tools.
