There are a number of other compilers with successful IR

encourage you to take a little time to see if you can learn anything
from their IR implementations.
+1.
Sure, we can't get there immediately. And your suggestion may be a
good incremental step. But I'd like to see a little more about the
final destination.
There are a lot of us that are happy to devote time and people
resources to helping you with this (both design and implementation),
so if you feel like you don't have time to go look at other IR's or
something, please let us help :)
It's a huge undertaking, and since it's generally a thankless job,
Thanks
:)
