Long term goal:
When the translation is done we should refactor the
compiler/front end to be a library, usable by other tools.
Yes that would be awesome. It can make the exact same tool at
least 10x more useful and versatile.
I'm a big fan of tools that allow plugins, so I would also like
to see parts of the compiler be written as loadable plugins that
can be swapped in/out with different versions, and also to allow
the tool set to be extensible by anyone.
