*Also Note:* Building LLVM with `Ninja` was not successful for me, but this
method was. Ninja may be successful with you, to try it, add `-G Ninja` to the
`cmake`-command, and instead of `make` run `ninja install`.

## In conclusion
Good luck! It took me a good 10 hours to figure this out for myself, I sure hope
these instructions help both myself and someone else in the future!
Alternatively assuming you have LLVM 20.1 or newer installed you may use omit
the environment variable entirely and use dynamic linking instead

//! - Resolve complex one-liners correctly using PEDMAS (e.g. `5 + 2 * 5 - 5 *

//! - Handle borrows/derefs, pointers.
//! - Declare and call functions with varying parameters and return types
