Hi PT_!
Programmers (of any sort) will always be welcome to Omnimaga (questionably 'simply the best', hehe!). I'm a somewhat oldish guy that happens to have done a lot of Z80 work in past, from OSes development to IDEs (no games, tho), but oh well, that was like 30 years ago and let's say I'm not in the mood anymore to return to that programming model.
That said, I'm aware that many, mostly young people, still like to program for that hardware platform. Mind you, there are also quite a few around here, so, I must admit that Z80 (or direct derivatives: ez80 or an ARM emulating a z80) is/are still very popular. And "against evidences there are no (plausible) arguments", period! An 'old saying', BTW.
Your nick 'PT_' also took me a bit by surprise, probably you don't know (?) that 'pt' suffix is the Portugal internet country code (Yeah, I'm Portuguese, but I've also spent a couple of years in Holland. By now, I already know that your are 'a sweet Dutch boy' ).
Well, all this talk just to say hello to you seems a bit much to me. I'm not going to dive into the technical advantages of your proposal for now, but I want to wish you good luck with your project and 'Tot ziens'.
