LLVM for Noobs - Why SSA is Powerful

LLVM is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies.

It tackles compilation as an abstract problem and uses modern, SSA-based strategies.

SSA = static single assignment, an intermediate language format where each variable is assigned only once. This simplification enables aggressive optimization - hence makes the technique powerful.
