Programming Software

I use StormC4, which is basically a pretty integrated environment on top of GCC 2.95.3. It's not just pretty though, it's also highly useful and enjoyable to work with.

A note on StormC4. It requires lots of memory. If you have less than 32MB Fast RAM you need not bother (you CAN get by with 16MB, but I wouldn't recommend it). In that case you could look into SAS/C (which you can't purchase anywhere these days), or GCC. The latest GCC for classic Amiga is 2.95.3, though there was a 3.4 update, but I can't seem to find the link right now.

@thread
Can we please move on from this pissing contest over which programming language is faster/better/etc and actually try answering the original poster's questions as adults? All this thread needs now is 1337 speak. Jeez.

Thanks for all your comments. I didn't realise there was still so much competition between programming languges.

How about hisoft c++, is that compiler any good? can i use it with c ?

Yes, HiSoft C++ is quite nice. And yes, you can use it for C. All C++ environments I've ever heard of comes with a C compiler.

For serious C++ you'll want the Standard Template Library (STL). On the Amiga that means either GCC 3.4, or you can attempt to adapt STLport for your choice compiler.
