There really isn't one. Realistically the point of interest for us are the 
optimization passes. Code generation and multi-lingual input being side 
considerations that realistically haven't been proven yet. LLVM simply packs 
it all into one, integrated and document framework which, given the 
complexity of it all, is highly desirable.
