If I had to do a lot of 6502 work today, I'd develop a custom language for it. Much like C is a custom language for the PDP-11 instruction set. C doesn't map very well onto the 6502, but customizing it would.

Good luck on your 6502 endeavor!

A custom language for the 6502 reminds me of the Action! language for the Atari computers. Wikipedia describes it as an ALGOL like language that included an editor, compiler, monitor, and runtime on a bank switching 16k cartridge. It was open sourced in 2015.
