Just from a quick look, Icon looks as good as any and better than some for the task. For what it's worth, it seems to be quite efficient for the things the analyzer would need to do: http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shootout/ It's as good as Python for the string benchmarks... Is efficiency going to be enough of an issue that C is the only implementation language worth considering? If not, Icon might be worth investigating. Syntactically it looks a little messy (For example there's procedure/end, but curlies for blocks? I honestly haven't read enough Icon code to make a judgement yet...)
