Just a quickie to suggest Objective-J :lol: (@karlos yeah, I've found another language I like)
 
In all seriousness, for something like this you are missing a trick not using HTML and a bit of JavaScript!

No javascript on my A1200 mate ;)

Not Objective-C... Objective-J ;)

Hmmm I'm not so familiar with pearl, but the GNUStep/Cocoa framworks are well serviced with a string object.


You said Objective-J but you were thinking Objective-C, otherwise you'd not have put the "@Karlos" ;)

Goodie... I smell another Bloodline V Karlos debate coming up... :)

Popcorn anyone :lol:
Lol, no... I'm off to bed... But over Christmas I attempted to teach my youngest brother to program, xcode was out of the question so I set up a JavaScript HTML document with some basic io functions in the head to hide the DOM and he was really getting into it! I will introduce objective-c to him via Objective-J :)

You have to check out Objective-j... It is to JavaScript what Objective-c is to c ;)

I think you'll loooooooove it :lol:

Hmmm... Really no JavaScript on A1200? I'm pretty sure the Amiga web browses support it!!

Oh well, if that's it then... It's just after midnight here so I'm off to peek through the neighbours windows and lurk about in the dark gloomy night... :)

trying to compare perl to a language that was actually designed to handle strings efficiently is just not going to work out that well. :)

Javascript already has an object model, based on prototyping (rather than classes) and it's pretty easy to do reflective programming with it. Hard to see what it adds, other than objective-c syntax, which is not a selling point in the slightest.

Since text games are harmoniously retro, pick something way portable and retro itself to write one in- nothing JIT or interpreted, either...

It will not be cool if it cannot run on a PDP-11.
