I write programs for my calculator, which is big endian

  Good for you I guess?

    It’s an example of somewhere big endian is used other than an IBM mainframe, even if it’s equally niche I’m pretty sure there are examples that are way less niche though but I don’t want to look into it at the moment

  Which calculator? And does it have a C compiler?

    It’s the Casio CG50, it uses SuperH which is supported by GCC and there is an unofficial SDK (well there are actually two of them) The CPU is technically bi-endian but it’s controlled by a pin and it’s hardwired to big endian mode Most C code just works, sometimes there are endianness bugs when porting things but they’re usually not hard to fix
