Depends on the processor and the application. Here we are specifically

There are other languages. Intel's PLM-51 (or whatever it was
called) seemed like a good compromise.

That, AFAIK became obsolete and "not supported" in 1986 Though
I do have a copy of the last version they did.

Hence the past tense in my comment. ;)

IIRC, PLM wasn't "stack-dependent" like C is, so it fit much
better on the 8051. I've also seen languages for the 8051 not
entirely unlike C (these languages were usually called "C", a
fact which would have caused fits among the denizens of
comp.lang.c)

but not among the members of the ISO C panels
