Back in High School in the 80’s me and a buddy wrote a Z-80 editor assembler in TRS-DOS BASIC.

It was not rocket science.

I never did get very far with the TRS-80 Editor Assembler, but that was my first exposure to such things.

I also remember the BASIC code for the Dancing Daemon which was replete with PEEKs and POKEs, such that much of it was written in machine code.
