Could you give some specific examples of those new languages with their own backends for faster builds?


I was immediately thinking of Jai, Zig, .. but I've seen a few


Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think both Zig and Jai use LLVM as their default backend...at least, that's what I have seen via live streaming for Jai, and from Zig's repo.


Zig is moving away from LLVM (https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/16270) and Rust has added Cranelift as a debug backend (https://lwn.net/Articles/964735/).

Not sure about Jai.


I don't think it's moving away, because if you have read the entire thread, the gaming community reacts negatively to say the least and they assure everyone that LLVM does not going anywhere any time soon.
