An ARM Assembler Written in Lisp

I once wrote a rudimentary x86 assembler in about 250 lines of Clojure:

https://github.com/nathell/lithium/blob/master/src/lithium/a...

In general, I find that s-expressions are actually a nice syntax for assembly languages. For x86, they kind of sidestep the AT&T vs. Intel conundrum, and you get to write macro-like functions in the host Lisp that compile down to s-expressions.

Oh that's it, I was reading some wasm articles last month.

Clang's ir is more c like. I can't find a link to a good example offhand, but if you pass the right combinations of flags to clang you can dump it.
