Whoa it is really coming out! That is great!
You canāt seem to preorder it off of Steam yet but itās going for Ā£16 on PSN with a 20% discount applicable if youāre a PS+ member.
Apparently this has been around for a while but news to me. Fascinating.

wow!! I didnāt even know that you could get good enough performance out of C code on 16-bit consoles; maybe 68k compilers are just really, really good?
Iāve played around a bit with writing stuff in C for the NES, even, and I think you could get pretty deep into things before you need to write assembly (aside from maybe your music driver). Todayās bad compiler is still probably way better at optimizing than your average bad assembly coder.

from the looks of things, itās based on a fork of gcc
gcc optimizer is probably better than a human in anything that c can do, tbh
I would assume so too but I always hear about 8 and 16 bit code being written directly in asm for speed reasons so I was curious
Good compilers, and development hardware powerful enough to make them practical, were a lot harder to come by two or three decades ago than they are now. Isnāt many orders of magnitude more powerful wonderful?
