I've started reading Construction of Thinned Gated Single-Assignment Form by Paul Havlak, because I hear this SSA form is way underrated. It uses a crazy archaic 3-way IF from Fortran as a motivating example: IF (I) 10, 20, 30 This goes to 10/20/30 based on i being +ve/-ve/0!

The Mesa project was started in 1993 by Brian Paul, and he's still developing it! Really impressive!
