Golly. I used to write C on one of those..

C ? Pah! I started on them in assembler, but did hand assembly at
times.
Not to mention compilers for a couple of languages...

And I have four PDP-11s right here anyway.

Ever do any BCPL?

I used to run the BCPL User Group.

I did compilers for the DECSystem-10, Elliott 4130, PDP-11, VAX, ICL
2900/3900, MS-DOS....also greatly enhanced a Z80 one. Probably some
others.

ISTR my co-director wrote a BCPL compiler for his Atari 800...
originally in Atari BASIC, and then once working adequately enough he
rewrote it in BCPL of course.

The Commodore Amiga had an operating system (AmigaDOS) originally written
in BCPL...
