I’m not famous, basically because I never made any software that where ever realised to public for the Amiga platform, The only software that I ever made public is PublicPaint on Geocities and Towcows, all other projects where stopped before they made it to the public I started other projects at same time as I where doing an other and I never got the time to finish the 1st, 2en or 3rd, or the performance of Amos basic stopped me, form making my software public.

There might be some of my software floating around some where on the net, I made program called Workbench96 inn BlitzBasic once, shown to small number of folks at TG, it’s a start button and start bar like AStart, and some class mates at the time.

None of my program have ever bin uploaded to the Aminet,

I started developing C programs on micro processors inn 1998 sins then I converted completely from Basic,

My past experience whit programming languages is 68000, AMOS, BlizBasic, Qbasic, Pascal7.0 for DOS, VirtualBasic, C, SQL, HTML, bash / sh, ARexx.

I know little about many, and I never taken the time to know one language to make it really count, now I’m sticking whit C, AOS40 and Linux.

You sure know a lot of programming languages.

As I where saying I know little about many,

Basic languages are closely related and do not need to know a lot about one to start making use of an other this how learned Amos, Blitz and QBasic.

Pascal, C and VirtualBasic I learned at school, different years :o),

The funny thing about Blitz is that is more or less tow/tree languages inn one,

It offers inline assembler code as well as tow different programming modes, one for direct hardware accesses BlitzMode and one for system friendly apps AmigaMode, I only investigated the AmigaMode as this the one I where most interested inn after AMOS, I hungered for system friendly programming when I programming for AMOS.

Wheee... Lets have a competition! ;) I have personally used:

BASIC/Visual BASIC/VBScript, Pascal/Delphi, C, C++, E, Forth, ARexx, FORTRAN, PHP, Java, Javascript and all these assembler dialects: x86, 68k, 6502, 6809, S2650, ARM, 65816, Z80, HD64180, PIC.

I have also played with various 'toy' languages, like Brainfuck, FALSE, Bonk, and Intercal.

I wrote my own Programming language, and even built an interpretor for it... I win :-P

Programming languages are for wimps.

I just use 1's and 0's; sometimes I don't even use 1's.

Hi Peter,

How come to this day, no one's made a C or assembler compiler, that is as easy to use as Amos???

Maybe an editor, where the syntax LOOKS like Amos commands, but produces the C code instead to a text file (that gets compiled in a C compiler), because the editor code you are writing is basically "templates" that pass the variables to the C code that is generated.

In reply to Comment 10 (Atheist2):
C/C++ offers other ways to handle data one can not make Basic do the same unless it offer the same kind of hard to understand syntaxes, and there for basic and C will always be tow different things,

The 2en problem is that Basic is designed to generate code fast whit out the need to debug the code, a basic command offers lots of error checking, C/C++ do not offer all that error checking inn C/C++ you most make shore to reserve the amount of memory needed for you command or else your program may overwrite memory areas out side that memory area, this is the 2en argument as against way C/C++ can never be as friendly as basic because it C/C++ offers ways to handle the programs recourses that basic can offer if it’s going to be a beginner language like it is today.

Java + C# is now tow of most popular languages the problem whit this languages is that they generate slower code the clean C/C++, many tanks to how they handle text strings, when adding tow text string the program will need to allocate the right amount of memory to fit the tow text sting that are going to be joined, on the other hand, if you know that the text string is going to be added later on you can reserve more memory then you need and skip the reallocate new memory for the text string, this is some thing an compiler can not fore se, and there for basic syntax can never be as fast and compete directly whit C/C++

If you like to have more power and do not like to get sticky whit C/C++ and assembler codes, then Pascal is your language,

Most likely if you ask for something like that they will tell you to go use Visual Basic ;)
