This reminds me of Bjarne Stroustrup's original implementation of C++ which was also transpiled to C. That was known as "Cfront" compiler at the time.

Yes, kind of, you're right. C++ though went on for a roller-coaster of complexity, at least that's how I see it.

I think of Vely as staying simple, declarative, and C all the way for performance reasons. More of a collection of practical things you'd want to do.
