To answer your questions you first have to tell us, what you want to do
with the new compiler.

Maybe:
If it is used near machine-code you will need many bit-operations
if it is used for web applications you will need many control
structures.

there are already C-compilers which produces fast code
   dont invent a new one

easier to use is for example the xbasic-compiler. It makes
assembler-code.
but it already exists.

Maybe the world needs something like a fast java-compiler ?

Euphoria was invented because of the idea with the new datastructures.
when you create an EU-compiler which produces code which is twice as
fast ...

You should have a new idea and then implement it in a compiler.

Maybe the world needs somthing like rpg in the big IBM-machines for=20
running on a pc and is freeware. it would help to write fast and secure
commercial applications.
