jackWhy don't more languages compile to C?
It seems like, you can use your own memory manager etc if you want, and any specifics you want to optimise you can write a specific optimiser for, but even if it's a mess of pre-optimised assembly-in-C and higher-level-C, there's already a C compiler for most target systems, which produces reasonable machine code.
