C was written
for or about the PDP-11. Just about all the C
addressing
modes and basic OPs are native for pdp11 addressing and many
instructions.
Then we have the WD Pascal Microengine that basically was the
implementation
of P-code in microcode.
There are machines that are coded for forth primitives directly.
I believe somewhere there was or is a a Java engine.
Memory says there was a Wang machine that directly executed Basic.
Generally it was not uncommon but most were lost to time.
I get a little uncomfortable contemplating the possibility of a
machine
designed to execute ASP.NET.
