Because the OP may be familiar with and productive in C?

Because he may intend to run it on a small microcontroller for
which there are not infinite run-time resources?

Because C has been used to develop billions of lines of system
and protocol software for almost 45 yrs?

Because there aren't any decent ALGOL compilers anymore?

Why NOT write it in C?
