So, a better compiler. As I said, hold on, we're working on it and made good progress already. SCC's code is really nice and readable. Another good thing about SCC is that the source is public. > And it generates fast code without optimizing. And it compiles > extremely fast.

Also, if you want to sell a language to suckless, you better make sure that you can call Xlib, and also a good bit of POSIX, is that the case? > And the language syntax is readable. It's not a esoteric language. Not esoteric, as in, like C? Also, why haven't we seen any code yet? Are you trolling the list? -- Quentin
