Why?! LLVM not good?

Hello,

LLVM is great, it simplifies a lot the code generation. At the same time, LLVM is huge and compilation time might take long, which is bad for a JIT compiler. I would like to try another backend engines, but the project is on hold now.

I'm working on another language that will interact with Lua and has performance as one of its main goals; check it out: https://github.com/titan-lang/titan.
