Hjalfi works on an Z80(&#x2F;8080) assembler for CP&#x2F;M (there are plans for portability) using his own Ada-influenced language Cowgol (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cowlark.com&#x2F;cowgol&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cowlark.com&#x2F;cowgol&#x2F;</a>).<p>This is a long video (7:09:57) but as always enjoyable. Hjalfi&#x27;s videos can rarely be considered directly instructional but I find it interesting to watch what seems to me to be a very natural response. In the process he stumbles on to deficiencies and even bugs in his own Cowgol compiler. If you have the time, I recommend it.
