C is not good at doing high-level stuff. C++ is good at both high-level and low-level stuff.

Isn't that the whole point of a compiler, to translate computer code into machine code? I would ditch the C++ and just use C, modeling your new language on an existing one. C#, after all, "borrowed" heavily from Java.
