You might be based by the fact you learned programming and the associated ”linear" thinking a long time ago... I am not very efficient reasoning on graphs, but I remember how HARD it was when I started programming and this does not seem even close.

Programming languages are addressed to humans, XML is addressed to machine. That is the difference. BTW the problem with lisp is not the parens, it is that it is too powerful for its own good. C++ and Java got there popularity from there restrictions really.

Since this version of your language will never be used by thousands of users (if you ever hit sucess you’ll want to rewrite your compiler anyway) QBE is a lot simpler to use than LLVM. The main limitation is the limited set of target architecture, and probably the dlow development. In effect Linux AMD64 and ARM64 are the only well supported architectures. Also you may be able to compile to windows using mingw assembler.

That is not similar at all. 3°C is not a normal use condition, silicon normal working temperature is around 50°C (sustained by its own heating in normal condition) and there is probably a notice where the minimal temperature is stated in celcius. The OC is about assumption on user culture. Assuming that a macbook won’t be used in extreme condition is just normal engineering scoping. You aren’t chilling on the balcony in underwear, are you? Well of course not because your body, even raised in a cold climate, needs to keep itself at 37°C. Your macbook too need to keep warm, and it cannot use its muscle when the CPU is not heating enough. But, hey, maybe you just got a good business plan ! Design a macbook parka to sell to your fellow countrymen.
