Just wondering if there are any computer languages still alive that will run on Amiga (1200 or 600) - I have the hardware, and some ambition- I even have some smart coder friends - but they're younger than these machines and well, is there anything they can code on a mac or PC that will run on an Amiga these days?


Pretty much any language you can think of apart from some more esoteric "young" languages designed in the last ten years or so should have implementations that will run on Amiga 1200's and 600's.

The issue isn't the languages, but that unless they stick to very restricted API subsets, they'll need to learn at least some of the quirks of the Amiga platform to write for it, and ideally they'd need to learn parts of the AmigaOS API.
