I'm as new to this as anyone else, so don't take this as gospel...
AFAICT, the VP code is simply what is shipped to the end user. There is no reason why a C compiler couldn't be written to compile into VP code. In fact I can't imagine many people coding serious apps entirely in Asm. I suppose its a bit like Java bytecode.
