Why LLVM 3.2? #500

Open IngwiePhoenix opened 5 years ago

IngwiePhoenix commented 5 years ago

This is just a question of curiosity, which mainly sparked from when I wanted to just get this repo cloned and build it to play around with it on my Mac OS. Sure, I can build LLVM 3.2 from source, but using Homebrew is usually my go-to solution of obtaining dependencies.

When I wanted to install LLVM 3.2, Homebrew suggested 3.9 instead (which I had installed already) and those are the other LLVM packages available:

$ brew search llvm
==> Formulae
llvm ✔                                                llvm@3.9 ✔                                            llvm@4 ✔                                              llvm@5 ✔                                              llvm@6 ✔

The un-tagged LLVM reports as such:

$ /usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/llvm-config --version
7.0.1

So why use LLVM 3.2 when far newer versions exist?

Thanks in advance :)

@IngwiePhoenix The guy (https://github.com/jckarter) who developed this programming language is not working for ClayLabs anymore since 2014 so nothing is updated.
