The STM8 has good support in SDCC C compiler. STM32 has C++ support in gcc? Not sure...
Anyway, I thought also of using JAL to generate assembler source for some PIC24HJ compilers - assembler source that can be compiled by the standalone ASM30 assembler suite (exclusive Linux user here), supporting the micros that Basic Firewing supports. Never started the project that probably would need some assembler tokens equivalence and creating new tokens and dropping the part where it generates "the executable". I think this is the best (and faster) way to extend the JAL language to other families of microcontrollers. I never started with STM8, I think PIC & AVR are still a good alternative and for STM32, I use C language mainly but for some STM32 families out there PIC24 and dsPIC33 are even better (28pin DIP case, 5Vcc native, good speed and I think even 1 cycle execution - the newer series).
