People may also find interesting the Open Dylan project's alternative implementation of an LLVM bitcode writer, https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/blob/master/sources/... and https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/blob/master/sources/...

It's actually interesting how many independent implementations of bitcode writers there, given that there are almost no independent bitcode readers (mine is very preliminary, and then there's one from Galois[1]).

I believe Swift also does their own serialization in LLVM's bitstream format[2]. I also saw an implementation of the writer in Swift, but now I've lost it.
