C backend
We are also working on a special backend, one that produces C 
source code. Progress on the C backend has recently shot forward 
(87% and counting) thanks to an amazing contribution.

What's interesting about this backend is that it will play a role 
in our plan to replace the old bootstrap compiler implementation 
and, perhaps even more interestingly, it will allow Zig to target 
architectures not supported by LLVM, including ones that force 
you to use a specific C compiler, like certain game console 
platforms.
