Personally, I think the real reason to make new things is to give status quo enjoyers brain damage. Just imagine, someone that has grown accostumed to llvm learning all about it, pretending not to enjoy it while in fact making its best to spread it and mantain it... and suddenly it becomes not a standard anymore. It would be easy, wouldn't it? A lot of people hate it, even if they work with it, so an alternative coming up wouldn't have to be that much better than llvm, in fact, it might be worse at optimization but better in other ways to the point people just drop it.

I literally get turned on by imagining all those neurons, all those pathways in the people inflicting llvm dominance on us, suddenly becoming unuseful. You are a smartypants tech savy priest of the cult of you-don't-get-it-this-is-the-only-way, and suddenly, all that knowledge becomes brain damage. Some dumb memory of something we don't do anymore. You will be 90 years old in your death bed, trying to remember the face of your wife, but instead you will only see Chris Lattner's face screaming kaijus in IR at you.

Yes, we should try new things, even hurting ourselves in the process is justice, just so we can inflict this future on llvm most pious acolytes.
