I've considered emitting LLVM, or using C as a high-level assembly language, but not directly to native code. I've been wanting to write some simple arcade-like games using spaik, and it'd be a shame to either restrict it to a single architecture or needing separate implementations. (that, and being able to benefit from the 100s of lifetimes spent optimizing LLVM and gcc code generation.)
Spaik also doesn't have an AST-level interpreter for evaluating macros, it compiles and runs the bytecode on-the-fly for macro-expansions declared and used in the same compilation unit. And I figured it'd be even more of a hassle with native code.
