Sounds like a good project. A non-optimizing backend that retains type information and asserts could be very useful. And keeping it simple is valuable, it makes it easier for others to understand the front-end/back-end connection.

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.
