C on the C64/128 is a waste of time.  If you want results, you end up having to rewrite code in Assembly langauge anyway.  :-(


What a strange comment. If by "results" you mean hand optimized assembly code, then yes. If, on the other hand, you mean something more along the lines of port pre-existing blocks of codes and routines already written in C to your chosen platform then we end up with a very different metric to judge C by.

C is a very good compromise between small relatively quick code and human read/write-ibility for small platforms.
