C--

Yes, you also got QBE and LLVM

If you feel up to it, use C as your IL

lowbytefox.dev•80 days ago

tinycc is great for this - includes C compiler, AT&T asm assembler, linker and archiver

Has anyone tried cranelift?

Is C-- actually used by a real programming language (that means Haskell does not count)?

handle.invalid•80 days ago

I didn't even know it was a real thing

selbstmut.bsky.social•79 days ago

Also Haskell has the most goofed up post decrement operator
```
main = do
let n = 5
let var = n --
print(n)
```

Still prints 5 and not 4, WTF?

There are many C--s Sphinx, RIF, Ocaml IR, ... https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/c--/faq.html#notypes

Demodernized C++

C++ is postfix increment, so its just C. The pluses have not incrementally improved C by the time you get to evaluate it.

What we really need is ++C, a language which is actually better and where the pluses actually do anything.

>>people often ask me where I get this two pluses

Is that your C++ postmortem?
