Jean-Claude Wippler is writing a blog series "
The Fabric of Computing", aiming to create, collect and present computing in pieces small enough to understand. He presents a BCPL compiler in 256 lines (sort of) in the most recent post.
It's very interesting, and quite the coincidence, that Jean-Claude is tackling BCPL on a 16 bit machine, much like the OPC5 and OPC6 adventures we've been discussing nearby:

Over the last couple of weeks, revaldinho and then hoglet have surged ahead with developments in the land of
One Page Computing. Starting with the
CPLD-sized OPC1 and moving through to the 16-bit
OPC6ls, we'd reached the point where we had a 16-bit word-addressed machine
and a BCPL which could target it. (Also a
C and
PLASMA)
