Interestingly llvm-hs seems to have gotten a new maintainer which has ambitious ideas like using it for GHC and absorbing the bytecode parser llvm-pretty-bc-parser.
LLVM Internals: The Bitcode Format

It's actually interesting how many independent implementations of bitcode writers there, given that there are almost no independent bitcode readers (mine is very preliminary, and then there's one from Galois[1]).
I believe Swift also does their own serialization in LLVM's bitstream format[2]. I also saw an implementation of the writer in Swift, but now I've lost it.
