I remember discussing with my boss if Perl could ever run in the RAM of a C64.

We decided to search first for a JS engine on the C64, because it's more minimalist.

But what I actually found was a C64 emulator written in JS ... grin xD

Seriously, it depends rather on the available RAM than the processor.

IIRC was the 6502 only able to address 64k, but there are clones which can do more.

(Kind of base-page addressing to switch the 64k blocks by setting an extra hardware register, I suppose)

update

both projects you linked to mention memory mapper for 1 or 2 MB, here you go.
