Also, woldn't the act of compiling to c as an intermediate step increase the
compilation time? And wouldn't the compilation time be limited by the c
compiler speed? I agree that compiling to c (or some other language) is an
advantage, but as an option, not as a mandatory step. I don't think ALL
I agree, but for the long-term isn't a bit odd to depend on another language?
Nim would be nicer as a self-complete language, with the current backends as
optional, so it keeps the advantages you mentioned. Thats just my opinion.
Thanks, it looks nice, but it doesn't seems to work (or at least compile the
source code) with windows. Maybe I'm missing something, I'm new to all this
compiler/llvm/etc low level stuff. But any ways, are there plans to incorporate
this functionality on the base nim compiler in the future (far
Does Nim have some kind of "standalone" or "no backend" mode? Because it feels
like an "incomplete" language without a direct-to-machine-code standalone
compiler. Also it adds another layer of needless complexity the need to install
and interface with, for instance, a c compiler. And its a shame
