Yes, you can write some tools, but... too hard.
I saw family of "integer languages" and they have no big success.
To become more successful need char (byte) and pointer (char *, int *) datatype, IMHO. (like in a Small C)

1. Tiny Basic
2. First
3. PL/0, Oberon-0
4. B (funny, but B is more advanced then SectorC)

+SectorC

We can count Pascal-S (char/boolean/integer has same width), but, imho, this is next level language (because have records and arrays).

Also, my expiriment - selfhosted PL/2 - something like turbo basic but with integers. I dug this idea as useless.

PS: Try this (imho this is right way - "like Small C, but smaller"). Just need add static/global arrays and then will be excellent.

Make DOS great again!
