In MSEgui I use "T" as prefix for class types. All other custom types have no
prefix but "ty" postfix. There is also the {"P"} prefix for pointer
types. "T" could be replaced by "C" which looks more correct.

I strongly am against the hungarian notation and generally use prefixes with
caution. I think the start of a designator should contain the most important
part in order to speed up vertical or block source scanning. For variables
the most important part is the name IMO.

Why, what would be the alternatives?
MSElang produces an intermediate code representation
https://gitlab.com/mseide-msegui/mselang/blob/master/mselang/opglob.pas
which can be interpreted directly (mostly for testing purpose)
https://gitlab.com/mseide-msegui/mselang/blob/master/mselang/stackops.pas
or converted to LLVM bitcode
https://gitlab.com/mseide-msegui/mselang/blob/master/mselang/llvmops.pas
https://gitlab.com/mseide-msegui/mselang/blob/master/mselang/llvmbcwriter.pas
If you like to write your own optimizer and code generator you can use the
intermediate code. The quality of LLVM produced binaries is impressive, see
for example
