  There are a number of reasons, one being the desire to have a portable
 and fairly standard software development core.
  Some developers were actually surprised for instance when they found that
 software might be written for micro-controllers using C.

  Since then Borland and others have grown oaks from the original acorns,
 in their  own grounds. I'd like to have a robust acorn that I might plant
 myself, in my own software environment.
  With 32-bit capabilities becoming more realiable and some , though still
 not enough , standardization at the C code level the situation should
 improve.
  I'd like to see this made available then , freely , to everyone ; at a
 dedicated web-site.

  In the meanwhile languages like Euphoria bridge the gap in their own way.
