So does java. And BCPL. And probably a few others. I think you have just
put the people that have strong ideas about clean code off this idea for
good. And all it took was mention your pet language where it was not
needed.

Besides, any general bytecode is about the worst you can put in. It'll
get you a free express ticket to the wonderful world explored at large
by micros~1 with their vb-in/on/through-anything *cough* enhancements.

What you _need_ is, as OP said, something restricted to what things on
your screen do. OpenGL primitives or somesuch. Not another virus engine.
