Like most languages, ADA is what it is. Each language syntax is a jigsaw, pieces of which may be ugly and confusing, but overall build a recognisable whole where every piece has it's place and it all fits together snugly.

Objective-C, on the other hand, is like taking pieces from two wholly different, unrelated jigsaws and ham-fisting them together until they fit the same shape as the cover on the box, but is clear to anybody looking at them that they've been crudely mashed together without any real thought as the inherent incompatibilities between the two; you've got strange gaps, and overlapping bits that are bent completely out of shape. Overall it still works but it isn't pretty.

I'm making up the verb from the adjective:
Quote
ham-fisted, ham-handed: (Informal) lacking dexterity or elegance; clumsy

Ham-fisting, in Karlos-speak is to perform any action "in a manner that lacks dexterity or elegance, clumsily"... Not to fist someone with a Ham...

The very reason I moved here 11 years ago ;)

It's hard to feed any perversions on the Isle of Wight :(

Out of curiosity I downloaded the VHDL source for the TG68K. My first reaction was, "Is that it? It's so small!"

When you consider the size of your typical software emulation implementation, it looks dinky :)


Did you look at the second part? :D

Yes, that's actually what I was referring to.

Unless one is a paedo.... or was that Jersey or Guernsey?

On a more related note,  I've dug out my RKRM's and various 68k books to get the old synapses firing in nostalgia mode.

AROS 68k source here we come.

This VHDL stuff is looking very tempting though, anyone suggest a first-timers FPGA kit to buy or perhaps shuld I just get one of MikeJ's boards?

Time for one that goes "Is Franko paranoid, or are we really out to get him?" then.

Alright, I'll rephrase my statement... TWO guys in their bedrooms built a better CPU than Motorola's entire CPU dev team in the whole 80's...


Well, cache greatly improves performance on any cpu but back then perhaps the bottlenecks were elsewhere...

Well, that's the point of AROS! Shame others don't get get stuck in and have some fun!

I think MikeJ's board is probably the best option... that way, if you find yourself totally stumped and bored with VHDL... at least you will have a new Amiga... :)

IMO it would be better to get the fpgaarcade board, not only it is cheaper, but anything meaningful you achieve could be tested by others people.
