Folks,

Sorry for chiming in, just a quick idea.  If you find the "get a
high-level language that compiled to C" idea good, it might be worth
to take look at Feldspar [1].  It is about defining a domain-specific
language for a given domain (Digital Signal Processing) that compiles
to standard ISO C99.  It is an embedded language in Haskell (*), it
requires some research work from the side of implementation, but it
looks interesting to me.
