All,

EDG have open sourced their C++ front end
https://edgcpp.org/

Is there a commercial market for compilers anymore?

The LLM generated compilers are creatures of their
training data

Is there a future for programming languages.
Coding agents could cut out the middle man and go
direct to assembler.
