Here's a good talk about the Go assembler backend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KINIAgRpkDA Spoiler: they're nearly to the point (maybe now they've achieved it fully) of autogenerating a new language backend from ISA documentation PDFs! Bring that up next time someone complains about Go not using LLVM.
This is an area where proofs of correctness are considered necessary, because intuition fails. See [3]

Does this make targeting new ISA's trivial?

I did too, until I found.
"I literally copy-paste the middot every time. Who has a middot key?" I did too, until I found. http://middot.net/
I love the Compose key, and don't think I'll ever use a desktop without it.
