Currently, Idris compiles to [[C (programming language)|C]] and relies on a custom copying [[Garbage collection (computer_science)|garbage collector]] using [[Cheney's algorithm]]. There also exist [[JavaScript]] and [[Java]] backends, and a partial [[LLVM]] backend.
 
The name ''Idris'' goes back to the character of the singing dragon in the 70's UK kids' program [[Ivor_the_Engine#Idris_the_Dragon|Ivor the Engine]].
