   I've found C compilers (even linkers) to be pretty fast now for reasonable   
   sized programs.   
      
   How slow would be your edit-compile-run cycle using C output? Or is the   
   bottleneck in your generation of C code?   
      
   What would be the output of your front-end anyway, if you don't use C?
