  The SX's native language was Assembly, but there are some nice BASIC programing interfaces that go with it.

  Go to the Download and Documentation and expand that link. That will keep you busy for a while.

  Probably because the numbers, (profit) were not there. The hardware was done, but maybe the software support did not make business sense.
  
  My speculation, I do not speak for Parallax.

  Probably, i only asked as while searching about all sorts of chips including AVR and Pic and the basic compilers for them I came across a couple of sites or forums where people were happy to have bought them or sad that they were gone !!

  The SX was a fast microcontroller with some nice features. Unfortunately, the manufacturer got in a patent fight and lost and the chip is no longer being manufactured. Parallax has a large enough stockpile for its own needs for the forseeable future.
