It?s nowhere near as ambitious as LLVM, but it looks interesting for some
smaller-scale uses.

Looks interesting, but it only has a limited number of backends and
they are all 64-bit.

I am always looking for a much lighter version of LLVM but it needs
to have a good range of backends available, including the 32-bit
architectures.
