Description

Having to depend on other frameworks to do the heavy lifting means that the quakes, limitation and overhead of the other platform limits what can be achieved. Hence is it possible to have Beam directly generate code for LLVM, JVM and .Net platforms without dependence on any other platform.

Also perhaps there can be code generation than directly native code in high level languages like C/C++, Java, C#, F#, Rust, Julia, D, Nim, etc.
