     @karen tcc is relatively small but holy shit it's not something I could write.

     If C compilers were easy to write then GCC wouldn't be 100k LoC or whatever stupid amount it is

     @toast @karen eh, a big part of that is how long it's been around and how many people have had their-specific-usecase-optimisations etc included, searching here and there for niggly bits of time to save. if you just want the simplest implementation possible c is not that tough to handle, easier than funclangs with fancy type systems etccompiler design is fun, but kinda hairy around the edges, and lots of projects choose intentionally to keep things simpler at the expense of some compile and runtime efficiencystill a pretty rude response, though, that...

     @karen 2.2 million LOC :^) (*JUST* for the language handling, without most of the optimizations and the work-doing bits like libcc1, libgcc and such)
