Gets value ? Or extracts value?

I thougth to myself that surely there would be a CIL backend for LLVM, and why didn't the author just use it? But amazingly there doesn't seem to be.

I personally would have been surprised to learn that such a thing existed! As a C# and rust developer who has hacked on llvm before, I have to admit that these two languages (and their underlying techs/stacks) are absolutely worlds apart and there is so little overlap between their communities.

I’d have been less surprised if there were a llvm backend for C#, but that wouldn’t exist without an IL LLVM target (because you’d be limited to the language without any (standard) library support.

The first-pass Roslyn compiler is really naive when it comes to optimizations; I constantly marvel at how little optimizations are performed in its first stages compared to what llvm does (the jit is amazingly well-tuned, however). An LLVM backend for C# would make for very interesting learning and research opportunities!

LLVM have MSIL translator back in 2007 [1], it was abandoned die to lack of interest.

A decade ago - until the term was appropriated by the reactionary right as an insult!

His statement is written in two different fonts! His name is written in a different font to the rest of the statement.

This doesn't prove much, but it's an embarrassing coincidence for him.

The most interesting thing about Dan Ariely's response is that the final line, containing his name, is written in a different font to the rest of his statement!

Until someone manages to decompile code that shows this data being sent to Valve this is just a pitchfork party.

Perhaps the point is...you have an ipad 1.

Can I recommend that you read the article and you will find therein the answers you seek!
