AI Analysis
●●SolidNiche GemCozy
Uses QBE to skip VM overhead and emit native binaries directly.
Strengths
- •Leverages QBE to generate native code without writing a full backend.
- •Clean grammar implementation handling operator precedence correctly.
- •Good educational walkthrough of the full compilation pipeline.
Weaknesses
- •Limited to basic arithmetic; lacks variables or functions for broader utility.
- •QBE already handles the hard parts, reducing the engineering novelty.
