The intention of this project is to compliment JALV2, not compete. Some projects need 32-bit cpu, higher speeds, more flash, more ram, etc. Looking at Wouter's web shop, you'll see various ARM 32-bit cpus and boards available. Olimex and Sparkfun also offer 32-bit solutions. If you wanted to stay with Microchip, check out the 16-bit and 32-bit processors - dsPIC 24F and 30F, and also the PIC32MX. All of these have very similar if not identical peripherals as the 16F and 18F -- UARTS, timers, SPI, CAN, etc, and may be a nice upgrade for bigger JAL projects, and may be desirable to support with JALLIB libraries. Another idea (probably crazy) is to run JAL natively on any PC - Windows, Linux, etc, or on small open-source routers. Could it become another popular scripting language? You can probably think of better uses for JAL that I ever could.
