-
- Yours is "bullshit", as you say.
- If the world follows your ideas, we'll all program in Basic.
- The more you go away from a sure standard, the lamest the computer becomes.
- Now you think that "assembly is dead: C++ is the future" and such bullshits,
- but I recall that some pseudo-programmers said the same when the C128 went
- released: "Now we've a powerful Basic: no more assembly blablabla".
- Well, I hope that the future will be as you wish: so in 5 minutes we REAL
- programmers will write a short assembly routine and kill any competition
- with the pseudo programmers.
- I bet you dont want to know (or you aren't able) neither what happens in the
- computer when you "program" a routine to print a string in the screen, you
- prefer to say << wow! some text magically showed up on the screen after I wrote
- "Print A$">>. Well, good luck. But dont bother judging real programmers; you
- dont program the computer, you (perhaps) program the compiler, that will never
- generate acceptable code. You get a 10 times faster CPU to regain the speed?
- I write an assembly routine optimized by a human mind in 5 minutes and we're
- back again. Eat my dust ;)
- After 10 years of experience in assembly (I know almost any language), I find
- it extremely easy: more than C. It's only a question of being accustomed, and
- to make your own subroutines/macros where possible. Then, if a new CPU comes
- out, I learn it in 1-2 weeks, like 80x86 and PowerPC recently.
- After 1 month it's like if I knew them since I was born.
-
- You want it easy: no pain, no gain.

-
- You know if there're hardware rules, and not only software rules.
- A computer is not only generic software: it has also an hardware identity.
- If you remove it, then it's not a computer anymore.

-
- The Draco is an exception, so it has to get the problems, not the rest of the
- standard Amigas.
-
-
- Utilities use the generic OS, games and demos cannot.
