There is a lot of interest in our community about LLVM, which is probably the most known compiler tool. We talked a lot about parsing, and compilation is a natural next step after parsing. The issue is that is a bit hard to get into it, especially if you do not have any experience in the good old C++. So, we are thinking of writing an introductory article about it.
What do you think of LLVM? Do you have any experience in using it? Is there a project in which you would like to use it?
I would personally love to see this article, bug I guess I am a bit biased 
In general I have mostly written compilers for the JVM and I think I could benefit from strengthening my experience on LLVM. Now we have great experts in C++ in the team, such as @maurizio.taverna and we could dive a bit further into LLVM in my opinion.
I am looking forward to see what others write on this topic.
I started a high-level document on LLVM some years ago. Today, it is maintained by Michael Rodler on Github. This document exists as a readable online book on Read The Docs. We are always looking for contributors. The idea behind the book is that we eventually want to document how to implement all/most high-level language features in LLVM, but I have to say that little has happened in this regard the last few years.
I have recent experience in LLVM as I am using it as the back-end in my initial bootstrap compiler being written in Python v3.7+.
Overall, I like LLVM a lot, but the Windows support seems to be lacking in the sense that you have to install Microsoft Visual Studio (which I personally loathe, I use the SlickEdit editor for all my projects) and sometimes the documentation is a bit lacking.
However, you can almost always get great examples by implementing your sample code in C or C++ and running it through Clang, the LLVM C++ Compiler, and then examine the generated LLVM IR.
I am no expert on LLVM, seriously, but I’ll be glad to help out if there is anything I can help with.
Cheers,

The crew at Kosada, Inc. is using LLVM the compiler for Vuo, a modern visual programming language for multimedia artists.
Sorry for the late reply (I switched jobs and with that of the pandemic I’ve been hyperbusy reorganizing my life!). I’m super interested in this topic. I have two compiler projects, one of them in python, and was thinking of using LLVMlite.
I’ll have a look to your book. Thanks for sharing!
