Ok, so this is slightly tangential - i misappropriated 'BCPL' for a
comic book I'm working on, called Bureau for the Containment of
Programmatic Lifeforms - I gave a talk in London recently entitled
BCPL, which featured Martin Richards, the history of BCPL->C, lots of
drawings of computer scientists including everyone's favorite
curmudgeon Ted Nelson, sci-fi world building comic books, algorithmic
music generation, and trying to bring all of them together into a
project called BCPL.

I may me a bit late now, but I would also like to add my B compiler, that
I wrote a few years ago: https://github.com/aap/abc/
I wasn't able to find another B compiler at the time but wanted to run
B code just for fun. I was also studying dmr's C compiler so I took a lot
of inspiration from his code and wrote this (rhe code generation is entirely mine
though, and terribly inefficient).
I haven't compiled it in a while and I suspect it's not as portable as
it should be, but it was only meant as a toy anyway...my first
parser/compiler/language.
I'm still planning to make it output PDP-6/10 code eventually.
