This is a very easy to read article about the design of LLVM:

That IR has a great effect on making it simpler to debug the compiler, I
think this is important (and I think it partially explains why Clang was
created so quickly):
It's a good design, especially for optimisation tests. Although I can't
see an immediate application of this for D. DMD's backend is nearly
bug-free. (By which I mean, it has 100X fewer bugs than the front-end).
