The "Meta" assembler on Sigma-9's under CP/V was also quite powerful.
My friend wrote a LISP compiler in assembler macros. You could do
something like
LISP,12 (DEFUN FLUB (X) (cond (null x) R3 (t) (x R3)))
to put the definition of FLUB into register 12.
It was pretty neat, but it took forever to compile. -- Darren
