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 The project has moved to llvm.org and this repository is no longer maintained.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
