   I am trying to design a programming language for a simple processor   
   (16 bit, ~10 instructions, 16 registers).  I am not sure what a   
   language actually needs in order to be more useful than pure assembly,   
   but is also reasonable to implement.   
      
   I had originally tried to make a RPN style language where the language   
   is purely stack based, but I realized it wouldn't be Turing complete.   
   I'd rather not just re implement C or other commonly used languages,   
   but I'm having a hard time coming up with something I'd actually want   
   to use.   
      
   Any advice for a newbie?
