1) Do you believe there will be sub-parts of this project which could be carried on succesfully and efficiently by programmers without previous RTL experience? IIUC, the optimizers will be basically abstracted by RTL details, but I was thinking of something within the critical path. 2) As for the new tables needed by the RTL library, I suppose they will be generated by some new gen* program. Did you consider using a scripting language as a fast prototype to munge .md files and generate those tables? I believe it would allow faster initial development and more flexibility in changes. Much later, it can be rewritten in C. Giovanni Bajo
