@lanodan @fiore @sodiboo @freya @TheOneDoc Talking about qbe, I once tried to convince it to churn out SPARC assembly but kinda gave up on it since the code style is, well, Yuck! :akkomlem: 

Even LLVM's rather enterprisey style feels so much nicer to navigate than it

@koakuma @fiore @sodiboo @freya @TheOneDoc I feel like checking LLVM source code would make me want to get a flamethrower version of rm -fr (I think there's a doom for this? Would need big ones)

While QBE… I've seen much worse (hecking academics).

> The C codebase of QBE is intended to remain hobby-scale and pleasant to hack on.

They definitely have a very different idea of "pleasant to hack on" than me :akkoderp:
