Re: Too Scary, Too Complicated
Take your nice clean code from your language of choice and translate it into an archaic language just so that you can then compile that other language?
I fail to see how this adds value to the process. The intermediary mangling must to benefit from the strengths of the intermediary language perform a level of optimisation and restructuring of your code.
In other words, be a compiler. You're recommending we use a compiler so that we can use a compiler.
It feels rather simpler to me to follow the rather more traditional approach, which lets you more quickly and easily benefit from existing compiler technology.
