I think that flang beat us to the punch as the first external MLIR user :-) but thank you for your support Renato!

Ah, but Flang is in the monorepo and builds together with LLVM, while CIRCT (and my current project, Verona) "uses" MLIR/LLVM externally (as a submodule).

There are a number of build issues in both LLVM and MLIR that make it awkward for projects in that category to use the LLVM libraries and having a project in the llvm group will give us an "official" reason to solve those problems more efficiently.

I've been meaning to start a thread on that, but I need to collect all the build issues I had in an email so we can discuss them. Not for this thread, though. :)

cheers, --renato
