Funny you should mention that. I just recently wrote a PDP-8
simulator in MCPL. (It boots OS/8 as of about a week and a
half ago). MCPL is a language developed by Martin Richards
who originated BCPL (which inspired Thompson's B which of
course Ritchie developed into C). I also spend some time here
and there with Forth on a homebrew 6809 system.
So the answer is yes, there are definitely people here who
enjoy older languages.
