non-C/C++ centric, performant compiler maybe. Aliasing support in C is pretty limited and a performant langauge like fortran and more modern equivalents may seek more efficient, concise IR for compiler with less comparable overhead from LLVM.

Yeah, but those already exist as plenty of compiled languages are bootstraped already, thus I don't see the business value of LLVM-vNext.

One might argue GraalVM could be such one, however it has an history that traces back to SunLabs Maxime VM, it is focused on Java ecosystem, serverless deployments into Oracle Cloud, and for compiler development the target audience doesn't overlap with LLVM folks (C++ vs Java tooling).
