FPC has an AVR target (the processor the Arduino is based on), but I
don't know its state... (AFAIK its non working though :( )
I know there is an entry in the FPC Wiki about that, but that is quite
"aged" and I am not sure if FPC in general is a good match at least for
the lower end of any micro controller (not only Amtel AVR but PIC's as
well), given that some of them are _very_ limited in the amount of
usable RAM/stack space and usually do not have any float support either...
That's another question of course. But e.g. Florian tries to minimize
the overhead of the embedded RTL and if you are aware that you shouldn't
use high overhead features they won't be linked in either (e.g. if you
don't use Variants then the variants unit won't be used).
Also currently there is no PIC support for FPC, but there are some that
seem to be interested in implementing it.
Regards,
Sven
