Has anyone else seen this? https://developer.ibm.com/swift/2016/12/05/try-swift-on-zos/. I'm assuming this is the reason for the porting of clang/LLVM to z/OS. Don't know what it means for any other clang/LLVM supported languages...

On the same day, December 3rd 2015, IBM introduced the IBM Swift Sandbox.

I envy the language choices of other platforms (including z/Linux). We're pretty limited on z/OS. It's either the usual suspects or JVM languages. I'm almost certain that IBM have a z/OS port of clang/LLVM because I've seen evidence in their libuv port on github. Using the LLVM backend it's possible to port a plethora of languages to z/OS including rust, which is a superb language. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
