Cant program 8051 in C IIRCBoth Keil and IAR have sold C compilers for it. I don't know if those
are still available.
I do sometimes wonder what people use to develop for their 8051s
today. For example, I bought a little solder-it-yourself desktop clock
kit available for peanuts and it has some Chinese 8051 variant on it. No
software source unfortunately.
you can also cross-compile from some Linux stuff, but
not sure how well it accommodates the quirks of the '51.
When the '51 was far more common, BASIC-ish compilers
were more likely what you'd find. Think Systronix had
both BASIC-ish and a Java-ish compiler.
In any case, the '51 was - to a degree still is - a
perfectly good microcontroller. Pref the 40-DIP pkg
though because it's easy to solder the sockets :-)
For today's uses, esp for newbies, the Pico is likely
one of your best choices. Still have some PICs, but
not sure I'll ever use them for anything again ...
MAYbe for their original intent, peripherial interface,
smarten-up I/O.
