Last commit 2 years ago though? There are tons of compilers like that.

We only support C compilers that are widely used and that means Visual C++, GCC and clang. All written in C++ btw because C really does lack important features and emulating them constantly all the time really does cost time, money and effort.

Interesting, I didn't know all these main c compilers are actually written in c++ lol. Isn't tcc also used by nim programmers?

TCC is used but not officially supported.
