Totally! At 87 that's gutsy! My very first paid programming work was in Forth on a 6502 platform in the '60s, building a networked accounting and flow management program for a water company, but I'm now 81 and very glad to be retired.
Was your work on the 6502 perhaps in the 70s?

Information about other implementations of BCPL:
But is it real empathy? Did they actually pause and feel bad and convert their emotional response to some written message?
Or did they just short circuit. "Dead relative -> Say sorry for your loss". Like an AI bot.

One of my younger brothers died a few weeks ago (he was 67; I'm 75). When people offer sympathy, I accept it and don't question their motives or involvement.
I love this quote (from Interlisp-D: Overview and Status):
"Interlisp is a very large software system and large software systems are not easy to construct. Interlisp-D has on the order of 17,000 lines of Lisp code, 6,000 lines of Bcpl, and 4,000 lines of microcode."
So large. :)
