Modern, as in invented in 1988.

Modern, as in post-1985 techniques require lots of memory.
So they are not of any use if you plan to host your compiler
on a Z80, otherwise your next problem is mapping techniques
that are designed to work well with orthogonal architectures
(which the Z80 is certainly not).
[I believe the plan is to cross-compile with Z80 as the target. -John]
