There are so many great lessons in this video, Patrick was not only a great AI Researcher but also a great communicator. I curate tips and tricks on technical communication to make us better at public speaking, writing using storytelling etc in a monthly high quality newsletter, you're welcome to subscribe here : http://tinyletter.com/suyash
So what's the best way to tackle the learning curve of what you're suggesting? If I know zero about LLVM and I want to make something like the OP, what should I do?
At the time, I was hoping for an answer to this too — my experience with LLVM was zero.
It's a bounds checker rather than a compiler, but it seems to show how to use the full LLVM pipeline. When I realized that this might be an excellent starting point toward your original question, I thought I'd mention it in case it was helpful.
