I am trying to design a programming language for a simple processor
(16 bit, ~10 instructions, 16 registers).  I am not sure what a
language actually needs in order to be more useful than pure assembly,
but is also reasonable to implement.

I had originally tried to make a RPN style language where the language
is purely stack based, but I realized it wouldn't be Turing complete.
I'd rather not just re implement C or other commonly used languages,
but I'm having a hard time coming up with something I'd actually want
to use.

Any advice for a newbie?
