I also found that VERY annoying.

It shouldn't be that hard really. I guess I could give it a try.

Writing a C compiler (or a mix between C/C++, but skip the OOP part) in
Z80 asm will be hard... and it would probably result in a very big
program. It would sure be cool since a C program crashes much more
seldom than an asm program :)
