Yes, you are right. I had a mental note to update the description, I never expected this to be posted on HN so early :)
Just updated it:
> V is compiled directly to x86_64 machine code (ARM support is coming later). There's also an option to generate C code to support more platforms and achieve better performance by using sophisticated GCC/clang optimization.
- paulddraper 8y agoThanks!
- kupiakos 8y agoWhy not output to LLVM code instead of C?
- coldtea 8y agoBecause that would tie you to LLVM (a moving target), and to platforms where LLVM is supported.
- amedvednikov 8y agoLLVM is a huge dependency. It's very complex and slow. And it's C++ :) I want every part of the language ecosystem to be simple so that everyone can contribute.
- bakul 8y agoMay be you should say "LLVM will be considered once its code is converted to V." :-)
