Believe it or not Lerno, I have tried the C backend using GCC and Clang, and the funny thing is that the result was a bit bigger than the standard backend output; plus, the execution was also ~10% slower too.
I don't know whether I'm doing something wrong or not, but it made me appreciate the hard work you and all C3 contributors put on the entire codebase!
This 0.0.1 bump to the C3 compiler and stdlib ended up rather massive: it adds a 15000 loc windowing module and an experimental C backend.
(And don't forget we also released the new playground with graphics and sound, running the entire compiler in the browser, see https://play.c3-lang.org/?example=neon_overdrive)
