kudos to jeremy for putting pen to paper but i do believe the toy tutorial is better (albeit more comprehensive). also i don't like bazel at all.



I tried to learn from the toy tutorial and just found it to jump into the deep end too quick, without enough explanation for me to start writing code (because everything I touched in `toy` caused the build to break in mysterious ways).


Same opinion. I have little/no exposure to compilers (yes I know, maybe I'm not the right target) and tried to follow Toy and had to resort to a lot of wikipedia/google just to understand the concepts and terms. And after finishing it I was still a bit confused about how to even get started. I think it could be made a bit more beginner friendly.

I found the standalone example https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/main/mlir/examples... in the MLIR repo to be very useful, on the other hand.
