Do you consider LLVM a complicated software? And are there any alternatives and how they compare to LLVM?
An alternative: LibFirm but it's much simpler and feature-poor.

Suggestion for a backend?
libFirm.

Targetting C
Hi! We have been translating Elixir to C (which we translate to eBPF) in HoneyPotion. We used mostly Chapter 15 of Appel's Modern Compiler Implementation in Java to implement the code generator (that's "15. Functional Programming Languages"). I think the choice of C has been good thus far. The implementation of Elixir's pattern matching took much work, but if we had chosen a higher level target, we would still have to translate that to eBPF. Here's the entry point for the translator.

Suggestion for a backend?
We have been working on a tool that translates Elixir to eBPF. We actually translate eBPF to C. Now that we have more stuff working, I really wonder if generating C was a good choice.
