Fair enough. I suppose you'd need namespaces working first anyway 
to get  much out of those tools.

Mostly I've been stupidly busy with uni but I'm now FREEEEEEE!

I'm going to wait for the LLVM 7 release (very soon) and then get 
things going again: testing, atomics, docs, API contracts etc. 
I'll post to Announce when I've done all that. I'm still waiting 
for the Khronos folks to get back to me to get the SPIRV backend 
into upstream LLVM.

You're mostly interested in CUDA, right? That should be much 
easier to get shipshape.
