Having had to port front- and back-ends from LLVM 12 to 18, I concur on the lack of an API.

Both systems have their benefits and drawbacks. Neither "wins." What we had to do would have been much more painful in GCC for various reasons. But so was the forward porting. meh. That's why we're "engineers," right?
