Why not output to LLVM code instead of C?

LLVM is a huge dependency. It's very complex and slow. And it's C++ :)

I want every part of the language ecosystem to be simple so that everyone can contribute.

May be you should say "LLVM will be considered once its code is converted to V." :-)

:)

Because that would tie you to LLVM (a moving target), and to platforms where LLVM is supported.
