- Well, that would all depend on the alternative languages, though. If

- you - being able to port it would be the prime concern. But if the
- alternative language was assembler, say for a game, that's something
- different, isn't it? E can be very nice for introducing structured or
- object-oriented programming to assembly language - providing most of the
- code is employing E's inline assembly, of course.
