I still dont understand why it requires a VM. What do you mean by 'interlinked' and 'always visible'. What does C lack that means this would not be possible? Does 'balance memory usage and graphics usage' refer to designing for very small systems with only a few megabytes?

Yeah, you could do it in C. I just didn't want to. The other part was that I wanted to make a language. I didn't want to piggyback off of something else. I mean interlinked is that your memory that you have to use for your application is also the memory that gets treated as a pixel buffer. So when you want to draw, you write directly to your pixel buffer. When I mean balancing memory usage and graphics usage I mean if you use too much memory, too much screens real-estate would be used.

He might meen GPU programming, which has separate processors and memory from the CPU.
