Why not just Some Language -> C -> CCC -> executable? What is WASM bringing to the table? Or better yet Some Language -> MLIR.

- turbolent 3y agoVery few languages have "Some Language -> C" or "Some Language -> non-common OS / arch combo". The "just" part is a whole new backend, which is a massive amount of work for common languages. But it turns out many languages do have "Some Language -> WASM" now. WebAssembly brings portability to the table.
