English is not my native tongue, so please forgive me for having to ask for clarification. Do you mean that BitC shall no longer compile to C, but to something else, such as Java bytecode instead? So far I assumed that BitC was intended for low-level embedded systems development, where efficiency is essential, and sometimes the only "high-level" language supported by tools is C. Virtually all hardware out there has a good, free C compiler targeting it. Alternatives, if available at all often are of inferiour quality.
