Since you mention the 6502, or the 6510 in the same family that were used in the old Commodore VIC-20 and 64 computers...
Ever program in COMAL? I did a couple small CompSci grad school projects using COMAL way back in the day on my C64 :).
Nope no comal. Just Basic until I needed to do things you could not do in basic on a 1.02 MHz CPU and went straight to assembly. Left 8x86 assembly off my list
