What's nonsense about a compiler system that can compile any traditional (or possibly not) programming language given a description of it? Compiling into an intermediate language that abstracts away the details of the target machine (and by ``general'' I mean for any V.N. machine)

>Well, instead of turning your questionable programming talents towards something that would at least be unique and novel like Katawa Shoujo, you're reimplementing a toolchain that has already been implemented countless times.

Between making something original and improving on the imperfections of past implementations, we'd choose the latter. This is like correcting a misspelled word instead of continuing on with writing several more. The name of the main Anonix development site is REchan, as in "do again".

>In fact, the main reason most free *NIX coreutils don't quite conform to POSIX is because historically you had to pay a lot of money to to get a copy of it, until the SUS incorporated it and was put on the internet for free.

...and now that it is free, we would like to make use of it.

I'd say we're reinventing the wheel because it's not round enough.
