There is an LGPL'ed tiny C compiler out there with backends for x86 and x64. I recall a (much earlier) tiny C compiler in Byte magazine for 8- or 16- bit processors. Modifying one or the other shouldn't be too difficult for one of your talents.

It's funny because you'd think so, but with microcontrollers these days apparently it's not hard to find them out there running a version of python, lua or even javascript when they're not running the more traditional C variants. Hardware is cheap, and lower power chips can do a lot more than they used to.
is it actually though? The reason I ask is it's not *exactly*, like there's functions in there like digitalWrite() that have no corresponding header at the top.
That's why I've been confused as to what language it actually is. Most of the constructs look Cish, but there are some C++isms. No generics to my knowledge though, and no standard library which is why i hesitate to say anything more than Cish? This is just my takeaway after getting my hands on it. I fully expect in you saying that you know something I don't.
I would sooner trust a trained monkey to drive me around. It's got a few million years of evolution under its belt and a few hundred billion neurons more in its head. That's also why I don't expect the terminator to knock at the door any time soon. Artificial evolution takes its time, simply because it takes a (simulated) lifetime and many generations of candidates. And what environment will the simulation take place in? The Matrix? Of what use would an AI be that had been trained by playing Skyrim, just because that's a little bit easier to accomplish?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
