Why do you think more of these projects don't take this approach? I would be 10x more likely to try one in a professional setting if I knew the portion I was taking chance on was source translation layer, and I could rely on the well tested and supported C infrastructure.
- naniwaduni 4y agoIt's frankly harder and/or less fun to generate C and integrate with whatever locally support C infrastructure you have than it is to BYO.
- dmux 4y agoThe Nim language compiles Nim source code into C as an intermediate step.
- isaac21259 4y agoI was considering this for my programming language but I will most likely not use it because it makes optimisations and garbage collection harder, and the C would not be human readable (just look at the output of the chicken compiler for an example) so there's not a huge benefit. C-- could be an option but it isn't very active or well used. In terms of relying on tested and supported infrastructure lots of these projects use llvm.
