> Why not directly have the llm write ISA assembly.

The honest ernest answer to that is it's a bad idea because it is not portable. Unfortunately for Intel, m they don't have the dominance they once did, so you have to pick between ARM, x86, or something more exotic, and then be attached to that specific ISA. It's an interesting thought tho.

My approach for a game sandbox https://github.com/libriscv/godot-sandbox for user generated content was to experiment with standardizing on a riscv 64 bit linux ISA.

https://bellard.org/jslinux/ bellard is notable for this approach where you write a riscv execution layer and then write a windows / linux / dos etc emulator on top.

We have different IR backends to make it portable btw. There are llvm, qbe, etc In the repo I mentioned in the link am goofing around exactly with llvm, to actually figure it out.
