This is great! Not sure which high level language you are targetting, but consider Subrust instead of C: https://github.com/orbitalhigh/subrust How does LowIRSSA compare to P1pp from boot2 ?

Short article, but it's good food for thought, thanks. "The engines that ended up everywhere were not the ones being argued about." LLMs are still quite recent indeed!
