-Although the low-level operations could easily by coded by hand, they were chosen to be an easy target for a simple compiler. Think along the lines of an advanced assembler or stripped down C compiler ( C--).  Taking concepts from BASIC, Pascal, C and assembler, the PLASMA compiler is simple yet expressive.
