This idea, if I understood it correctly, seems to be at least partially related to some work I did on the zenas assembler, with C-like macros. The current published version of Zenas is for the Z80, but I also have an experimental, still unreleased version that supports a good part of AMD64.

It's a largely unexplored territory for modern systems which always assume that C needs to be the baseline / intermediate representation.
