How is this computed?

round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10) — computed 2026-09-03. Adoption (stars, forks) is never an input.

llgo is a Go compiler frontend built on LLVM, written in Go, aiming for gccgo-compatible command-line behavior. The project has moved to llvm.org and this repository is no longer maintained.

Use cases

  • compile Go programs with LLVM backend
  • build Go code using gccgo-compatible toolchain
  • experiment with alternative Go compiler implementations
  • self-host a Go compiler on x86-64 Linux

When to choose

  • you need LLVM-based code generation for Go
  • you want to hack on a Go compiler frontend
  • you need gccgo-like CLI behavior with LLVM

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready Go compiler (use gc or gccgo)
  • you want active maintenance or recent updates
  • you need Windows or non-x86-64 support
