Tend to agree, but I hope that the zig folks aren't biting off too much by trying to replace LLVM. Sure, I can understand some of their reasons, but LLVM provides all kinds of functionality (optimization, code lowering, targeting lots of cpus,etc.) that will be difficult and time consuming to replace. I hope this doesn't cause them to lose focus on the development of the language itself and libraries.

*Replacing llvm in debug builds and similar where incremental build times are the most crucial

Fully optimized release builds will surely still have an option to use LLVM
