The one doesn't exclude the other imo. You could have a language that is 
easy for humans, preferably even easier than the current SDL. You can 
write in this language from any other language, as I do with Python and 
you with matlab. Now give this new, or even the current SDL the ability to 
rewrite itself, by unrolling all loops and structures (kinda parsing) and 
you have your machine version.

Eventhough we're talking about a raytracer, where every bit of speed is 
still essential, I'm happy with offering some of this speed to a human 
readable language.
