I thought it would be Pascal for microcontrollers :) Still very nice!

Anyone with a spare Micro-SD Card and a Raspberry Pi 5 should try:

Awesome. Thanks for posting. I miss my modula-2 so much I wrote a bunch of editor macros for Lazarus that allows me to write slightly modula-2 like code in the editor.

I made Pascal for 8080 in about a week in 1979. How is it possible you may ask?

Well son, I had Lisp and I just added Pascal translator. Only caveat was that it ignored type declarations and such useless academic shit. Because I had sort-of compiler too, it was not really bad when compared to Turbo-Pascal.
