Hi,
Funny you should ask. We looked at GNU lightning over a year ago when
planning out how to write the JIT. I personally think that LLVM is strictly
more powerful than GNU lightning in many ways; maybe the thing to do,
if there are people out there actually interested in this, would be to
reimplement GNU lightning on top of LLVM. Anyway, today, I wrote up a
small missive comparing GNU lightning and GCC with LLVM; it's kind of
terse, but it should give you a better feel for why we feel this way:
