I was working on LLVM (C++ compiler) for 3 years and Java server backends the other 3 years. Those were the main products, with a side of Python, Groovy, Bash and JavaScript. In all fairness, I suspect LLVM uses linked lists internally for things like instructions in a basic block, but that was a level of abstraction under me.

Ah, I see. I guess it all depends on the meaning of "use",
