I'm interested in writing a Roc platform, but I wanted to experiment with using Nim. At the moment Nim doesn't use LLVM by default, but it can compile to C and I was wondering if that could be used with LLVM? Any ideas?
Folkert de Vries (Apr 27 2022 at 11:45):all you need for a platform is something that can use the C ABI, it doesn't need to compile to LLVM itself
Folkert de Vries (Apr 27 2022 at 11:45):so you could write a platform in python, if you wanted to
Sean Hagstrom (Apr 27 2022 at 17:27):Good shout! I didn't know that was the main requirement.
I'll try implementing my own platform in Nim using it's C interop stuff, thank you!
