Field notes
The site describes a front end that lowers xtc source once into shared SSA-style IR, followed by common optimization and per-architecture code generation. Its target inventory spans native Mach-O on Apple silicon, musl-based Linux, PE with C interop, GEMDOS .prg files for m68k, WAT or WebAssembly, and a banked 6502 format assembled in-house. The homepage also links separate language, library, compiler-usage, and release materials.
