Supported compilers

This page describes the supported compilers in act at time of writing.

Foreword: compiler styles

Compiler support takes the form of compiler styles, which are groups of compilers that share a common user interface (meaning act can invoke them in the same way). These don't necessarily correspond 1-to-1 with actual compilers.

This page groups compilers by style at the top-level, then by compiler.
