Hello there,
I have a couple of questions about the Open XL compiler:
Since it's LLVM/Clang based is IBM going to release it for non-z/OS platforms like Linux so that we could leverage the cross-compilation feature of it? That would be very helpful because it would allow to compile/check compiler errors locally and to offload the compilation/link-editing off the mainframe
Again, since it's LLVM based is IBM going to introduce support for other LLVM frontends, like Rust, Go, etc.?
Thank you
