About the name "LLVM" in Readme.md #9

Closed cld4h closed 3 years ago

The name "LLVM" itself is not an acronym; it is the full name of the project.

So I guess it's nothing to do with "Low-Level Virtual Machine"

Oh, just learnt that it was originally an initialism for Low Level Virtual Machine. https://web.archive.org/web/20120112000323/http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2011-December/046440.html
