LLVM

LLVM is the primary architectural inspiration for EngineeringOS. The comparison is valuable because LLVM proved that a shared IR and pass-based compiler substrate can support many front ends and back ends without collapsing into one product shell.

How EngineeringOS Uses It

EngineeringOS should borrow LLVM's method: clear intermediate boundaries, explicit passes, target-oriented compilation, reusable infrastructure, and a platform posture that outlives any single editor.

Boundary

LLVM is an architectural model, not a code dependency for domain semantics. EngineeringOS should learn from its structure, not pretend engineering compilation is identical to machine-code compilation.
