I hope everyone read down to the end to see this factoid about Leor Zolman, the author: In 1979, Leor wrote the BD Software C Compiler ("BDS C"), the first 8080/Z80 native-code C compiler both developed on and targeted for personal computers. Leor's C compiler didn't support floating point, but it compiled programs like a bat out of hell on a 4 MHz 8-bit Z80 microprocessor with 64 KB of memory. Yes, it was C, running well, on a 4 MHz micro with 65,536 bytes of memory. Truly remarkable for its time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BDS_C https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BDS_C
