That's in the works: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/5046 for inline LLVM IR in Julia, with potential future extension to other languages.

They do link to the code: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/tree/master/test/perf . It doesn't look like a very reliable microbenchmark - run test x 5 times - but it should provide a useful starting point if you want to run your own.
