Hi, documentation is always good and this is a great idea. It'll be particularly useful as a place where additional examples of constructs from non-C-family languages could be added (since most compiler tutorials inevitably focus on languages that are a lot like C/C++/Obj-C). I'd imagine you've already thought of this, but it might be something where using pseudo-LLVM-IR is of the
