And this means that the performance is not the first (or second) reason to use Ceu, right? In other words, is it somewhat slow?

  I wrote in Lua the source-to-source compiler that takes a ".ceu" and generates a ".c" (the code is a single-threaded state machine), which is then compiled with gcc. The compiler is slow, but not the final binary. We wrote a paper [1] that compares flash,RAM,CPU usage from Céu vs hand-written event-driven code in C. The differences are negligible.

    Why not plug into LLVM? Just generate an LLVM backend.

      - Céu can embed blocks in C and call it directly - C is more portable - C is easier to generate
