Still though... I'm sure the stack sizes (not to mention pertinent memory associated with the interpretive code executor, and all the processing overhead for that) are massive... probably far beyond what an embedded processor can handle. A blackfin or coldfire maybe, but...

<rant>

well to put it simply i like a low weight class for my software... a medium amount of hardware, light software, means fast execution. I'd rather have my quick and fast C than a big bulky processor running a whole ton of code I didnt write (means that it'll probably crash since its near impossible to debug their machine code)...

</rant>

well... maybe i'm old fasioned... just i've always found the close interatction with the hardware of the processor that assembly and C provide...
