Summary

In this unique episode, Jason demonstrates Power C, a C compiler for the Commodore 64 that was his first introduction to compiled languages. The video showcases the complete development workflow on this vintage platform, including loading the compiler, editing code, compiling, linking, and executing a simple program. This historical perspective highlights just how time-consuming the development process was on early computers, explaining why Jason didn't return to compiled languages until he had access to significantly faster hardware years later.
