 		 #140762 - And what makes up that dominancy?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik Malund said:
When I, long ago, moved from 'pure assembler' to 'mixed language' the dominant HLL for the '51 was Keil and for that reason C became 'the standard'

And what made up that "dominancy"?

Do you think that it's just that Keil was the very first to offer a HLL compiler for '51 (was it the first at all? - I am too young in '51 to judge this)

What virtues should have a '51 Pascal implementation to make you at least THINK to move to it (assuming a massive campaign highlighting the advantages of the language itself :-) )
