- acqq 6y agoSo did I understand correctly? The "bootstrap" stage which is best to be in C (for the targets which don't have LLVM) will be just the output of the compiler compiling itself to C, and that will be regularly produced and pushed as the compiler grows? And that's one of the steps to make it LLVM independent? P.S. Amazing work up to now! Kudos! I'm a fan just for everything it does what other language designers ignore, like designing the language to both compile and link fast. Cross compiling always available is a masterpiece. I guess that feature wouldn't have to be present on the platforms which don't have LLVM, if the language is to work on such too?
- wyldfire 6y agoWow, a C backend sounds interesting. Should be super portable if they maintain it alongside LLVM.
