NCC, a new ANSI/ISO C compiler
While this is an impressive work, I feel that there are a lot of "tiny" C compilers out there; how is yours any different than SmallerC, TinyC, 8cc, chibicc and many others?

May 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
I have started looking into a frontend language. Not sure yet if I should roll my own or try to hook up Cwerg to an existing language. In any case that language should be a systems language similar to the ones described in awesome-low-level-programming-languages.

If Lua is faster and smaller than Python, while being just as powerful and capable, then why is Python so much more popular?
Funny, I am also in the market for a C++ alternative and had looked at Nim before. I felt it was a bit "kitchen-sinky" but I'll give it another shot. A comparison of system languages that came out of this effort can be found here: https://github.com/robertmuth/awesome-low-level-programming-languages
