8 Epic is a simple functional language which compiles to
9 reasonably efficient C code, using the Boehm-Demers-Weiser
10 garbage collector (<http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/>).
11 It is intended as a compiler back end, and is currently used
12 as a back end for Epigram (<http://www.e-pig.org>) and Idris
13 (<http://idris-lang.org/>).
14 It can be invoked either as a library or an application.
