I think writing a simple basic for it would be easier. The machine has enough memory (“4096 8-bit bytes for programs and 4096 4-bit nibbles for data.”), but the instruction set is lacking compared to a 6502, so it would be a limited one. I

The problem is that C doesn’t have strings; it has functions that treat sequences of non-zero bytes followed by a zero bytes as if they are strings. So, you can’t ask it to create a string that contains the result of appending a string to a
