If Amos is Basic, I do not have a problem with it. I do not even know if it is maintained, Matathias maybe?
I have to go back to that Yahoo group and look it up again.
I have used DarkBasic for pc and it has built in primitives such as cube, sphere, etc. How does Amos compare.
I have used a lot C64 basic and got into machine language back in a day. I do miss the C64 way of things.
Maybe Natami could have a compiler and Interpreter built in or just be included. On the other hand the StormC with its collaboration capabilities be a plus.
If you get Storm C, make sure you get version 4. Everything earlier was full of bugs.
AmosPro supports extensions written in 68k Assembly language so, if you don't mind sticking with hardware-banging classic Amiga code, head on over to
the Amos Factory website and sign up. Once you sign up you get full access to the download archives including the .adf files of original AmosPro install disks.
About Mattathias, it is months away and will use LLVM as its optimizer and code generator engine. Since LLVM has no 68k code generator, you'll be stuck on the mainstream operating systems and the next-gen Amigas. Also, the Amos compatibility is just a plug-in. Someday we hope to make plug-ins of other programming languages such as DarkBasic (for a reasonable fee, of course ;-) ).
