Please don't.
Look how the low level modules are written in Astrobe.
They are readable.
For a better insight how external compilers can complicate things, join 
the tinygo slack channel.
Better to invest time in writing a writer in Oberon than importing C.

Could you give an example of the messy lowlevel modules your are 
mentioning?
