There was a C compiler for the C-64. It was terrible and slow, but it
did do small programs. There were also BASIC compilers, but they
weren't terribly fashionable. Mostly folks programmed in interpreted
BASIC or assembler on those platforms (though there _was_ a push for a
while for a language named COMAL, but I avoided it).
... And for that matter the Commodore PET (I
know
the SuperPET had such a compiler), the C64, etc.
How many of the above would run *any* type of compile-to-machine-
language HLL compiler? Most of the BASICs were tokenized and
interpreted.
