    An important language in my younger years, since many Atari System 2 games (using the T-11 "PDP-on-a-chip") were written in it.

    That's exactly the reason. NetBSD uses its own booter for the same purpose, for example.

    A/UX 1.0 came on a pre-written 80MB disk, which indeed would have been a lot easier.

    Thanks! I wish modern JavaScript were a little kinder to it, but I still use it myself for basic tasks.
