What will the LLVM compiler project bring to the table?

LLVM is a newer compiler back-end. It is currently reported to compile faster than gcc, and do more optimizations across/between source files (depends on the exact nature of the source being benchmarked, of course). LLVM also clearly defines a high-level interface between the compiler front-end and back-end, possibly making it more portable for language research and JIT enbedding, etc.

JIT compilation is pretty awesome, there are already projects to build interpreters for traditionally compiled languages such as C. – Matthieu M. Dec 2 '10 at 16:56.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
