If what asm does is doing syscalls, well, I don't see the added value right away as NB Assembler would do that already no? Now, I am on Linux for about all of my Pharo code, so, C is nice enough. > > - would targetting LLVM-IR be of interest? > Oh, that would be interesting. In order to get the IR interpreter and running things all over. Now, this should be extended to the whole VM then. But not sure we want that before we get 64 bits...
