Ack yes, I did miss the "micro" part of this sentence. Sorry. That all said, you'd still be surprised at the number of programming languages that were ported to microcomputers, albeit more so in the early to mid-80s rather than the very start of their evolution in the 70s. Take the British Amstrad CPC 464, that had compilers for Forth, C and COBOL (to name but a few): https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Category:Programming_software https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Category:Programming_softwa... I remember seeing a similar array of options for other microcomputers too. But I'm not disagreeing with the GPs point, those solutions I've exampled were pretty niche. I raise it more for academic interest than as a counterargument.
