> Are there any samples of the final sources?

I generally check-in just the Ć source and not the translations, but if you want a quick look at the generated C code, here's some: https://sourceforge.net/p/asap/code/ci/master/tree/asap.c

I had no problems with that so far. Nim adds a lot of boilerplate code in C output. cito sometimes adds a few lines here and there, but mostly it looks like the code you would write directly.

Thanks to LLVM compiling your language via C seems to have plummeted in popularity somewhat.

It used to be a somewhat popular option for Haskell as well.

And Eiffel, which uses a JIT based VM for development and then compilation to native code via the platform C or C++ compilers.

Have a look here:

Those aren't samples of the final sources. It's a C-acute program, that output a library in the various languages, and example sources that make use of that output. Although there's usually no reason committing an output, this case is probably an exception.
