In late 1994, when I need to write a programming language it was a pain. You must start with flex, lex and so on, and the way will be very long.

Then I found GCC was able to compile in a pseudo-machine language, already optimized. Then a set of backend was able to emit mc68000, 80×86, power pc code…

I am glad to see now there is a “stripped down” version of the C language to simplify this hard work…. By the way, Fortran has been the first compiled language, appeared near 1957.
