Comment Comment by pjmlp Only if you ignore the 8 bit home computers, we got all BASIC interpreters and machine code for free with each one.And there were "IDEs" that sometimes were offered in cover tapes, at the expense of even lesser RAM, I got one for the Spectrum.And the 8 bit computers with at least 128 KB, already could run CP/M, which opened the door for better BASICs, including compilers. parent pjmlp 2 months ago
