Classical compilers
-------------------

The following list gives a summary of some compilers that exist in the open
source land.

* `LLVM`

  A relatively new and popular compiler. LLVM stands for low level virtual
  machine, a compiler written in C++. This is a big inspiration place for
  ppci!
  http://llvm.org

* `GCC`

  The gnu compiler. The famous open source compiler.
  https://gcc.gnu.org/


Other compilers
---------------

* `ACK`

  The amsterdam compiler kit.
  http://tack.sourceforge.net/

* `lcc`

  A retargetable C compiler.
  https://github.com/drh/lcc

* `sdcc`

  The small device c compiler.
  http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/

* `8cc`

  A small C compiler in C99.

Other compilers written in python
---------------------------------


* `zxbasic`

  Is a freebasic compiler written in python.

* `python-msp430-tools`

  A msp430 tools project in python.
  https://launchpad.net/python-msp430-tools

* `peachpy`

  A x86 64 assembly code generator.
