How LLVM Optimizes a Function – Embedded in Academia edit / delete

A nice walkthrough of how LLVM's optimisation passes rewrite a simple loop. This assumes you know how LLVM's SSA representation works, but it'll still make sense even if you don't.

The T3X Language and Compiler - T3X.ORG edit / delete

"T3X9 is a tiny, yet comprehensible, procedural language, much like Pascal or BCPL, but even more minimal. Its compiler is small and fast." There's a book about how the compiler works too.
