Because there is more free C source code on the web than any other 
language.  This source can be altered with much less effort than it takes 
to create it from scratch.

If we can port existing C source to the CoCo, software that nobody has been 
able to create in all these years (like JPEG viewers, internet apps, etc.) 
can finally become a reality.

I definately plan to add more languages to Portal-9, but C is the 2nd in 
line after raw assembly.
