Dr. J. Van Sckalkwyk:
: Should we be looking at C for our implementation, or design our own
: "Symbolic assembly language" based on our pooled knowledge /
: evaluation of various microprocessors..

Well...

one of our goals is a "new and better high level language".

another of our goals is "marketabilty"

which indicates, to me, both.

By the way, C is ammenable to a variety of mappings:
  function=cell, data=cell (lots of communication)
  module=cell (watch those externs)
  linked program=cell
  os=cell

This sort of choice would be best expressed as "compiler options".
