Along with the rest of the weirdness being mentioned by others, some of this really doesn't begin to make sense to me. o_O
Custom compilers have been a thing a few times in the past, but in the late 90s, what possible reason could there be for this?
- Igglyboo 12y agoThe only thing I can think of was that the Chinese had some new architecture with no compiler out there for it. But if they had their own architecture they could surely build their own compiler.. Sounds fishy tbh
