The C-- standalone compilers never reached the maturity of e.g. LLVM, to justify the port.
- hga 17y agoYeah, as far as I can tell C-- is lying the street slowly bleeding. The group at Harvard has run out of money for the compiler they were working on, and as soon as the principle investigator can catch his breath (he had to assume the duties of a TA) he'll finish packaging it into something that others can easily work with (e.g. a Git repository as I recall). As it is, it's supposed to be pretty hard to build, depending on a lot of old and/or exotic tools. GHC forked off of this effort sometime before the current C-- standard.
