Since you seem to know how this works -- I hope you won't mind if I ask you a slightly on-topic question about this...

I've been trying to find out if I can take the generated C code that nim produces and, for example, compile it on some exotic architecture (say an ancient solaris/sparc system or some aix/power thing, or some mips microcontroller with linux) however I can't find any examples of people doing this...

Is it possible? Or should I abandon hope and continue writing C for these platforms? :}

Are you sure your OS/CPU is not on this list? :) https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/lib/system/platfo... And yes, compiler works on almost all of them (you can see which ones are precompiled in csources - https://github.com/nim-lang/csources/blob/master/build.sh#L7... )

And for CPUs - https://github.com/nim-lang/csources/blob/master/build.sh#L1...

Yeah you can get to the generated C. See this SO question.[0]

Give it a try :)

As the others have said it should be possible. Nim is already pretty good at cross-compiling, but it is also able to just spit out the C files it generates and allow you to play with those.

Yes, Nim can run on all sorts of architectures including AVR microcontrollers, MIPS, RISC-V.
