🤯 Nibble: A Lean, Single-Pass LLVM Frontend

Nibble is a novel, single-pass LLVM frontend built in just 3000 lines of C, remarkably without relying on external dependencies, malloc, or an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). This project showcases a streamlined approach to LLVM frontend development, offering a lightweight and efficient solution for processing LLVM IR. Its graphical examples and open discussion on limitations, as noted in the README, highlight its potential and areas for future refinement.
