Can you back this one up with something?
To clarify my question: C-- looks like a cool idea, but not very actively developed. I would expect to run into bugs or just missing features. Some parts are obviously more suited for compilers than say C, but I would expect GCC (and to some extent LLVM) to be more mature and have better optimizations. I would need to see some evidence of C-- being used by someone else than original author before trying to evaluate it.
