Re:Introducing Verve: minimalistic, static, functional language by duaneb on Friday July 08, 2016 @09:38PM (#12059682)
Sorry, I shouldn't have implied you were intentionally misleading. I'm simply pointing out that by describing your language as without dependencies, you're just swapping out the explicit IR layer with a hard wired ISA layer (and linux abi), which is no less of a dependency.

I mean, GAS/x86-64 is cool, I enjoy toy languages as much as the next person—I just wouldn't describe it any other way than architecture-specific (and therefore useless to most people) so I don't have to click through if I can't play with it.
