I've been wondering why so many compiled languages I see end up
compiling their code to C or C++. Functional objects seems to compile
Dylan to C. I may be missing something, I have very little computer
science under my belt, but why would one need to do use another
language as a middleman between it and machine code?
Pardon me if I'm missing the point completely.
