C-- is an intermediate programming language designed to serve as a portable assembly language, facilitating the compilation of high-level languages into efficient machine code. It provides low-level constructs while abstracting away hardware-specific details, aiming to simplify the backend of compilers.

About C--
C-- was created in 1997 by Simon Peyton Jones and Norman Ramsey. It was developed to address the need for a portable assembly language that could serve as an efficient target for high-level language compilers, aiming to simplify the process of generating optimized machine code across different hardware architectures.
Strengths of C-- included its portability and ability to generate efficient machine code, simplifying the backend process for compilers. Weaknesses involved its limited adoption and lack of high-level language features. Competitors included LLVM, which offered a more robust and widely adopted framework for similar purposes.
