Hello Bruce, hello Dennis,
No recursion and no floating point will be blockers users need to keep in mind, but being able to build for 8bit micros like the 8080, Z-80, and 6502 is a definite plus..
The Cowgol page (http://cowlark.com/cowgol/index.html) says that the lack of recursion is because most of the target platforms "don't really support stack frames". I wonder if that means there will also be a problem writing, say, thread-safe routines or re-entrant routines. Incidentally, the Cowgol author, Mr. David Given, also currently maintains the Amsterdam Compiler Kit (https://github.com/davidgiven/ack), which was reportedly used in Minix. I think ACK might also be potentially useful for MS-DOS program development.
