Why not Rust? Or, say, Ada?

Or go all the way and design a new language too!

Ah, the Knuthian approach. Why not go more than all the way and design an architecture too?

That would be to just use Assembly, given Mix.

Assembler is too high level these days. This would be translator from higher languages to hardware.

Thanks for the reading material, quite interesting.

I think you are right, recently I saw an Arduino-like projects book, but using VHDL instead, which somehow pointed into this direction.
