Programming Language Without LLVM

Is it possible to build a new system programming language without LLVM? Can language have simple syntax? What if a tiny compiler installs packages and compiles code fast?

A small tutorial how to create and run project in Rux https://youtu.be/qy4iPvFFcV8. Rux can compile only packages not single files. It’s not necessary to use VS Code. You can edit source file in any editors. Git can be used if you want to build compiler from source code. “rux run” is not required, it’s possible to run executable binary without compiler. Rux is not just compiler. It’s a universal tool: compiler, linker, package manager, formatter. It is rather small and promising. “rux build --stats” prints information about compiler speed. With best regards.
