                LLVM Frontends
              
          
    LLVM on the high level could be separated into:


Core (operations which work on the LLVM IR AST)


Optimisers


Backends/targets - these generate the instructions for a given CPU (i.e. x86, ARM, WebAssembly, etc.)


There are many projects creating frontends for LLVM, which are actual compilers outputting LLVM IR.
Some of these include:

clang (C and C++)
llgo (Go)
