Interest in a "C"-based IF authoring system?

Have y’all seen this?

Zeugma is a modern, highly optimised, open-source Z-machine implementation for the 6502 processor family. It is designed around a virtual memory model, where pages are retrieved on demand from an external storage resource, 512 KB in size, which must be preloaded with the game file.

Discussion here:

Zeugma, a modern Z-machine interpreter for the 6502

The Z-machine lives again on the C64. This highly optimised interpreter supports versions 4, 5 and 8. The complete announcement is here: linusakesson.net/software/zeugma/index.php Quoting: “While the Z-code engine itself is written in generic 6502 assembly language, the virtual memory solution and input/output facilities are platform-dependent. Currently, there is only one implementation, Zeugma-C64-REU, for a Commodore 64 (or a C128 in C64 mode) with a 512 KB RAM Expansion Unit.”

I bet this could be ported to NES/Famicom; it would probably be reasonably playable on the Famicom keyboard.
