Aside from using software that relies on LLVM, I am not at all familiar with its internals. A fellow on another forum was ranting against using LLVM as a backend for security reasons pointing out its sheer size and the fact that it is a "US controlled software stack" [1].
Don't get me wrong, I think he has a very fringe and suspicious outlook on LLVM and the US, but it is a big codebase that would be hard to audit for such things. Would Zig ever be fully independent and auditable by a small team when the break from LLVM is made? Just curious, and I would love input on the LLVM comspiracy topic.
