Re: Intermediate forms (again?): worthwhile?

I'd like to second cr88192. i.e. either write a simple interpreter - probably
an AST evaluator since you're not concerned about performance - or compile to
C. Another option is to compile to another HLL. C is kinda high-level but
other choices might be JavaScript (works in browsers and nodejs etc), Java or
C#. If you stay high-level enough, you might be able to compile to something
C-ish and only have small differences to your generator to get Cish->JS,
Cish->Java, Cish->C# etc.


If you want to be close to the metal, as John said, there's LLVM. The new
front-runner.


Another option at some point may be HLVM - a abstraction layer on LLVM as I
understand it. It's currently in early stages and it's primary author seemed
to have dropped it until some recent activity.
