Sounds like a good project. A non-optimizing backend that

but... but it IS optimizing backend! once i have SSA, i can do
alot of optimizations on that -- i just didn't implemented 'em
all, but it doesn't matter. and any such optimizations are
completely independent of frontend code anyway.
Ohoh, sorry :-) But quite frankly, good SIMD support is more
important to me than a good optimizer. So if you extend aliced
with good SIMD support and do it well in the backend then it
could take off, IMO.
