They are "optimized for C" in the sense that there architecture makes
it easy to implement C. (Flat memory, lots of registers, stack ...) I
did a project in AVR assembler. AVRs are much easier to assembler code
then the i8051. (The i8051 is a braindead, awkward POS. A typical intel
design... I used it once and will never again.) Today I do all my uC
hacking with avr-gcc. The oposit may be the PIC. Due to the PIC
architecture a C implementation is a bit tricky.
