Maybe not--how many lanugages were implemented on the 6502, as contrasted
with the x80? Was there ever a 6502 COBOL, FORTRAN or PL/I? (I honestly
don't know, but I suspect that FORTRAN may have existed). The picture
Not really native 6502, but there was a Fortan complier for the UCSD
P-system on the Apple ][. Of course it compiled to p-code, but the whole
thing did run on a 6502 machine.
What languages were available for the BBC Micro (without a second
processor[1]), I wonder. I know about BASIC, Pascal, Forth, Lisp
[1] With the Z80 second processor you could run CP/M, which means just
about any language, of course. There were certainly BASIC, Pascal and C
for the 32016 second processor.
