Lattner is best known for starting the whole LLVM project. Swift is just a small side project in comparison, it just got adopted by Apple for some reason.

LLVM is one of the most influential pieces of software of the past decade. Hero worship isn't good but credit where credit is due.

Are you sure no one else was involved in starting LLVM? PhD supervisor, fellow students, etc. Just saying...

Oh yea LLVM and Clang are incredible pieces of software! He is truly a master.
