@saagar yeah I completely agree (https://social.noyu.me/@hikari/statuses/01H5HXKCVRJWEY246KSV4XXR5A). an LLVM checkout may be at least 2GB in size and it might take an hour to build, but it is a single git repo, uses a normal build system, and is at least partially modular, so it's not too bad. i've worked on multiple projects that integrate it
