[llvm-dev] Please help celebrate 20 years of LLVM!

[Shane Ryoo via llvm-dev]

I played with the earliest version of LLVM while at UIUC, probably in
the Spring 2001 compiler class taught by Prof. Adve. What it's turned
into is phenomenal.

Thanks to everyone that contributed and used LLVM over the years.

By 2003, LLVM 1.0 was first released with around 11 people contributing to the project. Since that early beginning the community has grown to almost 1700 contributors, had 374,680 commits, and 46 releases - it has been a fast 20 years!

The originally supported native code generators for Sparc and X86 have been expanded to include supporting many more instruction sets, including AMD TeraScale, ARM, AMD Graphics Core Next (GCN), MIPS, PowerPC, PTX, Qualcomm Hexagon, RISC-V, x86-64, XCore, and z/Architecture. The LLVM Project includes many related projects including Clang, lld, lldb, llvm-c++, MLIR, OpenMP, Flang, compiler-rt and more!
