Is an acronym for [[wikipedia:LLVM|low level virtual machine]] - a name not used anymore. The original vision was to repeat the success of [[JVM]] - e.g. define a bytecode (called [[LLVM]] bitcode) and tools to process it:
* Generate it from various languages [[C]] (via '''clang'''), [[Java]] (via [[RoboVM]]), almost any language
* Optimize it
* Emit code for various assembly architectures from it

[[LLVM]] started as a competing project to [[GCC]] stack and tools. Given that [[LLVM]] has been adopted by [[Apple]] (for it [[Mac]] and [[iOS]] tooling) and many other companies, it is a great success.

Of course, as a loyal [[OracleLabs]] member [[I]] do believe we can beat the [[LLVM]] with our [[GraalVM]] stack.
