I love coding in C

> I've gotten so tired of recompiling and waiting to flash a chip with C, that I've started learning ANTLR and making my own language. The idea is to have a language which runs in a VM written in C, and allows you to easily access code which has to be in C.

You may want to check out Moddable's XS runtime[1], which is exactly that. It's written in portable C, and "XS in C"[2] makes it easy to interoperate with C code you may write. And even if you decide to roll your own runtime, there's tons to learn from the source code.

I will definitely check that out. Thanks!

I haven't gotten to building the VM yet, and I'm hoping to just use someone else's and then contribute the tools I need to their ecosystem.
