Hello friends. I'd like to get a shoutout to a very cool Free Software project, Millfork. I've not heard anyone talk about it, I just stumbled across it on GitHub one done. It's a high-level language meant for classic 8-bit machines. More machines are being worked on, and it's a very active project. If anyone has the skillset and desire to contribute, please, give it a go!
Just to name a few machines it supports: C64, C64 with SuperCPU, Famicom/NES, BBC Micro, the Apple II line, and Atari 8-bits
