Is there a 8051-based microcontroller with the usual FLASH memory and with tools to program it like a PLC?
Hardware should be programmed like PLCs, we are just overcomplicating most hardware stuff by throwing OO & FP at it.

Microchip, Silicon Labs, Infineon, and Maxim all produce such µCs, like the Silicon Labs EFM8BB - up to 50MHz, a small handful of kb of program space, a smaller on-die RAM, off you go. Or pick a more specialised IC like the Cypress FX2LP family of USB controllers - they embed an 8051 core so you can apply firmware using cheap, widely available tools.
