Exactly, I also see code generation to current languages as output only an intermediary step, like we had to have those -S switches, or equivalent, to convince developers during the first decades of compiler existence, until optmizing compilers took over.

We still have those - S switches, and are still useful for the cases where an optimizing compiler could screw you ;)

Hence why we will eventually get AI Explorer, but not everyone needs that level of detail. :)
