Since you seem to know how this works -- I hope you won't mind if I ask you a slightly on-topic question about this...

I've been trying to find out if I can take the generated C code that nim produces and, for example, compile it on some exotic architecture (say an ancient solaris/sparc system or some aix/power thing, or some mips microcontroller with linux) however I can't find any examples of people doing this...

Is it possible? Or should I abandon hope and continue writing C for these platforms? :}

Doesn't seem to be online to me:

  $ telnet iconoclast.org 7777
  Trying 64.62.194.134...
  telnet: connect to address 64.62.194.134: Connection refused
Are you aware there is a massive (market leading, in fact) trading platform called Murex? The name is rather close isn't it? Is it intentional?

Edit: I mean, if I started making say, an operating system and called my company one letter different from another company (mickrosoft? rehhat?)-- who are in the same market and have an enormous reputatation -- I'm sort of asking for trouble, aren't i?
