Yes; they're a bit archaic, but perfectly usable. You'll want a compiler that's oriented around stack-based code generation, i.e., nearly all of them. A while back I integrated this B compiler: https://github.com/aap/abc It was mostly straightforward, although making the system handle 16-bit bytes was a bit painful. |
