I actually suggest keeping the parentheses, and updating the system functions to also use them. That way, you can potentially more easily support nesting of compound expressions in function calls.
Re: naming for IO functions, it's really up to you. I personally try to avoid abbreviations for readability, except for incredibly common ones.
Mode is an enum with values for input, input_pullup, input_pulldown, output_low, output_high.
For getting timestamps:
milliseconds()
microseconds()
For computing deltas in time between two timestamps correctly with rollover (Provided by the system in case the data type is unsigned. Returns 0 if t2 > t1):
I really need some help on real-time operative systems, the interface for windows is more or less ready, and the code should work on win out of the box, it should be rather simple to create a console program that can:
BIPLAN compile program.txt (compiles in program.bp/bip/bipl)
BIPLAN run program.bp/bip/bipl
would be helpful and fun to have it running on windows or linux.

One idea:
init_pin(index, mode) get_pin(index) get_pin_mode(index) set_pin_mode(index, mode)
Or CamelCase, InitPin, GetPin, etc.

time_left(t1, t2)
