What would be the advantage over coding the FSM in another HLL, let's ay
C or Jal? IMHO all the features of a normal HLL would be needed, both
inside the FSM 'event-handling' and outside it (initialisation,
interrupt handling). And the logical of a FSM is very simple. So if your
plan makes any sense at all it would be as an add-on to a HLL, maybe as
a preprocessor, but I would never use it, learning a new tool would be
more trouble than coding the FSM myself. (NB I have coded lot's of
FSM's, for instance datacommunication protocols).
