Yeah, I think supporting that level of Pascal (which I think it what you’re getting at) is definitely possible.
Turbo Pascal is famously compiled to native code though, so would it still be worth it?
note: I’d still want to support calling out to assembly from within Pascal or BASIC. There’s nothing about byte code that would preclude that.
I don’t know that I would expect to just recompile TP CP/M programs directly, however. I wouldn’t want that to be the success criteria.
