This is a wonderful idea!  As a compiler person, I&#x27;m excited to see how well this works and wish you all the success in the world.<p>&gt; QBE aims to be a pure C embeddable backend that provides <i></i>70% of the performance of advanced compilers in 10% of the code.<i></i><p>This philosophy is very similar to that of vis [1], a vim-like editor that aims to have 80% of vim&#x27;s functionality in 1% of the code.  I hope that more such project see the light of the day; I&#x27;m very interested in simpler programs and simpler ecosystems, even if that comes at the cost of features.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;martanne&#x2F;vis" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;martanne&#x2F;vis</a>
