Or like it's 2025. Plenty of current-production parts using an 8051 core as either their main sequencer, or as a low power core with bigger options on the main power rail.

8051 is cool, but no one is going to be writing their own homebrew assembler for them, there are plenty of FOSS ones.

And even assembly itself is going away, sdcc is a perfectly good compiler which is sufficient for a lot of 8051 applications.

Why not? I wrote a 6502 assembler a few months ago - despite being born decades too late It's fun
