IMHO, nowadays, 8 (and 16) bit processors only make sense for very small projects. Those are very hardware specific and thus using C here does make sense.

OTOH, 32 bit processors have become very cheap and handy. For embedded projects, IMHO, especially processors that are programmed as "ip-Cores" in FPGAs are very interesting, so that porting the FP compiler could make sense. I am considering to do this port for the NIOS CPU (that runs in Altera FPGAs). I don't intend to start that project very soon, but if someone is interested in starting the port, I of course will try to help.
