I have Tiny BASIC 1 and 2 source code, for exactly the same reason you described (my own 8080-based computer).
Here is a source code and a binary, ready to loaded from 01000h. Serial communication is provided by ACIA MC6850 - see lines 1420 - 1475, routines outc and chkio. ACIA is accessed via 0DEh (control/status register) and 0DFh (data register).
So: Load ...

BASIC for the MAI Basic Four minicomputer series was programmed in a version of TREE-META - a language for writing compilers in. I hesitate to call it a "high level language". TREE-META was more of a notation - very similar to BNF - with callouts to action routines. But it was not assembly language in any way. It was in fact an "attributed ...

Gordon Eubanks' BASIC-E for CP/M was written in PL/M around 1977. While PL/M is a fairly low-level systems programming language almost entirely targeting Intel processors, it's still higher level than directly targeting a specific processor in assembly language.
BASIC-E compiles to an intermediate p-code, which is then interpreted by a separate runtime. So ...
