Thanks for all the suggestions.
I didn't say this before but what I really want to do is test a
concept language, in other words: I don't care how the compiler work
as long as A) it works and B) it is easy to implement.


Problem is that the language I have in mind is everything but simple:
- There is no keywords, only predefined constants and objects.
- There is only two type of commands: variable assignment and function
calls
- There is no constructs, conditional jumps, loops and declarations
are done through function calls.
- Also you can create types (classes in Java/C# terminology) at
runtime.
- types and functions are objects so you can pass them as arguments to
a functions.
- you can also create code blocks and passes them to a function (this
is how if-else works for example).


C static nature won't allow me to use it as an intermediary language,
LLVM or GCC probably fall under the same category, I thinking about
modifying a Javascript interpreter or using it as is throught the eval
function. Maybe all this is too much for me to do alone, anyone here
interested in this challenge?
