Fil, you can compile the Linux kernel will clang+lld. `make LLVM=1` https://docs.kernel.org/kbuild/llvm.html

Filip, do you plan to support building the kernel with fil-c? What's the limiting factor right now on supporting that?

I find the repeated "yolo" qualifications very tiresome, yawn-inducing.

At least in this article:

https://fil-c.org/runtime

the term "classic C" is still used.

I don't expect for a moment that Fil-C might supplant normal C under normal circumstances. Calling normal C "yolo-C" is dishearteningly pompous. Just because you've invented a C environment with a different tradeoff, people not interested in it are not automatically irresponsible (which is what you are suggesting with "yolo", of course).

Any idea if it runs on real hardware ?
