Hi,


Not sure if this is the most appropriate ng...


I am looking for a simple, fast, small, intepreted, C-like imperative
language, with support for pointers and memory aliasing.


* it should be compilable in bytecode and executed by a small VM
* it does not need to be safe (NULL dereference may crash the system :-))
* I will use for some releatively intensive numeric manipulation, but
floating point arithmetic or even division are not needed.


Pawn was a good candidate but it does not support pointers.


I was thinking of using an actual uC compiler (e.g. for 8051) and
use a compact simulator as VM, but still looks complicated and suboptimal.


Any idea? Maybe some framework to adapt to my needs exists?


Thanks a lot


Legrandin
