Do you have a C(++) compiler? They are really nice. If there's something a run-time library doesn't have, you can always write assembler for little system-related functions. I would write everything in C++ if i could. When i was working at my former company, i wrote a major DB2 function in C++ and it beat IBM, performance-wise. I don't think it's "cheating" at all. Try Dignus's compilers. They're quite snazzy. Not the most-efficient code, maybe, but the output is easy to diagnose when something goes wrong. Justin R.
