LLVM is a C++ monstrosity that takes hours to compile. Other programming language projects have to maintain a "temporary" fork of LLVM to achieve their goals: https://github.com/rust-lang/llvm/tree/master



Rust doesn't do this because of the length of compile, it's because we occasionally patch LLVM, and then submit the patches upstream.
