I haven't used it for a long time, but Intel's PL/M
has interrupt type procedures. The compiler is geared
to their hardware, bbut you did ask for any directions.

PL/M also had some other strange facilities, like the
ability to call an assembler routine stored as data.
For the things I used it for, it was an appropriate choice.
