WOW this CCodeGenerator is great , I have downloaded it and tried the example and it generated the 'generated.c" file . Awesome !!!! thank you all��

Ok how about this visitor thing ? any links to it , no idea what that is and how to use it in pharo. Is it a way to code like continuations ?��

About LLVM sound very cool and I was googling about that few hours ago but from what I have read is a very undocumented part of LLVM so that maybe easier said than done. Looks like Pharo is not the only project having issues with documentation ;)

So it looks like I will be sticking with Pharo after all :D

Yes, interesting idea, instead of generating strings!
