I'm a bit surprised nobody mentioned this possibility, since 8051 C compilers already exist." If you think that the existence of an Ada 83 compiler that generates C means that there is an easy path to an acceptably efficient Ada compiler on any machine with a C compiler, you are seriously fooling yourself for all sorts of reasons. Nothing is as straightforward as one might hope!
