Yes, that's right. I was unclear. I am intending to come up with a language that I can compile to C, to implement VM instructions. I meant I would compile something to C, not from it to machine code.
Just to clarify, it probably won't be a subset of Scheme (although one could compile a subset of Scheme to this language). I was thinking of something more like register transfer language, so the compiler will be very simple.
