I hope I'm not the only one here upvote your comment simply because you decompressed IR into Intermediate Representation.

I like to read about LLVM and some of the things that are a bit (ok, in a lot of cases, way) above what I do day-to-day, except that it's sometimes taken for granted that the readers know the acronym/reference. I read the whole article and I understood what it was referring to, but for the life of me I couldn't land on the two words because IR in my world is always infrared.

Somewhat infuriatingly, my simple IR->"Intermediate Representation" was my highest ever scoring comment, and the one that pushed me over 500...

Lesson learned : Make something people want.
