why AzLang transpiles to Zig?

[martian56]

What motivated to choose Zig as AzLang’s backend instead of generating machine code directly?

I'm so sorry, I didn't notice your message.

Transpiling to Zig was easier than generating machine code directly, so I didn't have to learn assembly. It was somewhat similar to how Nim works.

But about a month ago, I changed my mind. Now, AzLang transpiles to QBE instead of Zig.
