A bit of context.

I know that, in a way, x86-64 architectures use CISC, “Complex Instruction Set”, which means it has more commands than ARM, which is RISC, “Reduced Instruction Set”. In a way, CISC is “halfway” into adding more functions to the language, though Assembly is still significantly less human readable than C

SectorLISP and SectorForth are interesting ideas that left me wondering, is it possible to make an architecture whose bare metal language is easier to understand and closer to higher level languages, rather than some variation of Assembly?

    Thank you, everyone, for the answers. Had no idea it was tried before, nor that it turned to be very far from a good solution. Today I Learned
