Apple IIe language design considerations #1

Open jdpage opened 6 years ago

jdpage commented 6 years ago

Kyle mentioned wanting to be able to target the Apple IIe in the future, which has a 6502 CPU similar to the Commodore 64. However, it has different hardware.

This issue tracks how potential IIe support affects language features. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is isr blocks—these will likely need to generate different code on the IIe, though they probably have similar restrictions.

Worth noting that I have zero experience with 6502 assembly code but I do have a real Hardware IIe.
