    only true if your language compiles to c. fortran peeps are safe.

      I thought it compiles to LLVM intermediate representation and then to the machine code of the requested platform arch. Am I missing something?

        only if you design it using llvm. llvm is pretty new.

        Fortran is from 1957, LLVM is from 2003. It’s probably like C where there is a compiler tool chain that goes through LLVM like you describe and others that go directly to executables.
