:-) Your idea?? This idea has been developped some 10 years ago already,
but the hardware wan't as powerful...

Why don't people just use _existing_ languages, existing object formats
and existing linkers. It's just so easy. With Linux, you code in C,
C++,Pascal,Modula,ADA or whatever, compile it with some frontend to 
GCC and link it with ld, which is able to understand a world of object
formats.
