I think the point is this more C with an S-expression syntax than a compiler that generates C. It sounds like you're supposed to think of the translation process as, at heart, more akin to transliteration than actual compilation. Article dates from 2010... I wonder whether this ever got used. (There's a paper that suggests doing something similar for C++, though not quite so adventurously. It makes it look more like Pascal: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~damian/papers/HTML/ModestProposal.html http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~damian/papers/HTML/ModestProp...)
