I just read a PhD thesis where somebody wrote an LLVM back-end for the
Haskell compiler. The "conclusions" section is entertaining. Consider this:
current complete uselessness is surprising. In closing, I believe that
LLVM offers a compelling and viable back-end target for GHC today."
Obviously I'm taking this out of context. But seriously... it's useless,
and that makes it a compelling and viable back-end? I LOL'd.
