Could you build this?
No A self-hosting compiler that outputs C99/WASM with built-in IoC and domain-specific decision tables is an intricate systems and compiler engineering feat.
What it would actually take: The project requires a full compiler pipeline: lexer, parser, semantic analyzer, type checker, intermediate representation (IR), and code generators targeting both C99 and WebAssembly. It must implement its own runtime, memory model, and self-hosting bootstrap procedure. This necessitates advanced expertise in compiler theory, grammar formalisms, and low-level code generation.
Discussion
4 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Rust (borrowing/memory management approach), Languages with DI/IoC frameworks
Concerns raised: Memory management implementation unclear - is it manual?, Compiler not self-hosted yet, still compiles to C99, Unclear advantage over frameworks implementing same concepts, 3-week timeline suggests potential LLM generation
