Have you read the blog post? It explains why I won't use LLVM and says that the interpreter is written in GAS x86_64.

And I'm not "pitching my software", I'm sharing my side project, with a massive disclaimer that I'm doing it for fun.

Sorry, I shouldn't have implied you were intentionally misleading. I'm simply pointing out that by describing your language as without dependencies, you're just swapping out the explicit IR layer with a hard wired ISA layer (and linux abi), which is no less of a dependency.

I mean, GAS/x86-64 is cool, I enjoy toy languages as much as the next person—I just wouldn't describe it any other way than architecture-specific (and therefore useless to most people) so I don't have to click through if I can't play with it.
