Yep - the power consumption would be the problem. A low-power processor would be the way to go. If I was doing this sort of thing commercially, though, I would probably want to focus my efforts on one language, rather than spread development, documentation and support across a variety - but document the architecture so it's open for others to re-target.

I should stress, though, I'm not planning anything - just dreaming. I'm not likely to find time to play seriously with these ideas any time soon. Sad
