zig's IR is llvm, while Nim's IR is C/C++/javascript. C supports more platforms than llvm. zig: no macros plz nim: macros are amazing

  Zig has a work in progress C backend so it does not only generated llvm IR. Also to ve more specific Zig is macros are awesome but best implemented as C++'s comptime.

  FWIW, there’s nlvm which is a fork of Nim that emits LLVM IR directly.
