A while back I read about a programming language that was designed specifically for NES development. And Prog8 was designed to target the 6502 in general, though I don’t know if anyone’s used it for NES dev.

Prog8 is a nice cross-compiled language for the X16 a lot of devs seem to like. It's pretty low-level but easier than assembly.
There's more but it depends what a person is into.
