llvm-mos VS Beef

Too late: https://github.com/llvm-mos/llvm-mos

I don’t think it’s in the official repo, but yes:

https://github.com/llvm-mos/llvm-mos

You could look at LLVM-MOS, the port of LLVM to the 6502. It might give you some ideas around the problems to solve https://llvm-mos.org/wiki/Welcome https://github.com/llvm-mos/llvm-mos

The MEGA 65 doesn't appear to have shipped yet. The best data I could find is the MEGA 65 is based on a "GS4510". The "GS4510" is compatible with a "4502", which in turn is compatible with the 65CE02. The 65CE02 uses a different manufacturing process but the same ISA as the 6502, which is supported by rust-mos and lvm-mos](https://github.com/llvm-mos/llvm-mos).

It really is a cool project. https://github.com/cc65/cc65

It provides some template configuration files describing different memory layouts. And provides common libraries for input/output.

There's also a LLVM fork for MOS: https://github.com/llvm-mos/llvm-mos

They've got some interesting hacks with ZeroPage memory and register allocation: https://llvm-mos.org/wiki/Code_generation_overview

Interesting if you geek out on that kind of research.

Using llvm-mos, rust-mos, a lot of time compiling compilers and support from Mariusz (the rust-mos author), I was finally able to program like it was 1982...

SNES: 65C816 derivative, may eventually be supported by https://github.com/llvm-mos/llvm-mos

Is it really a one man show? It looks like Beef Lang has excellent home page https://www.beeflang.org/ and I never heard about it until now.

Jai is dead, this is the year of Beef from the genius behind Plants vs. Zombies and Bookworm Adventures Deluxe.

On one hand, I feel there are so many similar languages out there {(Val, Vala, Vale, Corroded Iron, Beef, Zig, Carbon, cppfront, Jai)...}, that we don't need yet another, but also I encourage further thought because it may be inspiration for future improvements to C++ itself. The number one faux pas I see them make is trying to directly compete with C++ (inventing their own type system, their standard library, their build system, own package format...), whereas your (by its very nature as a transpiler) embraces C++.

This project is an exploration of two things. Firstly I wanted to dig into the exciting new language and IDE, Beef. If you're the low-level code oriented type I _highly_ recommend checking it out. Beef is a systems-level language (like C/C++) that borrows heavily from C# but ditches the garbage collector. It comes with a wonderful IDE and a great debugger and just an excellent work flow. Check it out at https://www.beeflang.org/.

That's why I love C#, Rust and Beef so much - no need to worry about pointers and segfaults and the code is generally nice to read unless you do something extremely crazy.
