Despite its simplicity, a variety of enjoyable games and programs have been
coded in CHIP-8, proving that a programmer need not be limited by the scope of a
language. Though undoubtedly minimal in the features it offers to programmers,
CHIP-8 represents a successful attempt at scaling down the complexities of a
programming language to the basic level needed to create simple programs and
games without difficulty.

due to the
similarity in design between a CHIP-8 interpreter and a system emulator; those
wishing to gain experience in emulator implementation often take on the task of
programming a CHIP-8 interpreter.

It is a kind of assembler which needs a Pseudo Assembler. Should that language be made into a Smalltalk DSL?
