- Hi !
-
- Awwhh (my ears ;)
-
-
- >I NEVER SAID THE E COMPILER HAD LOTS OF BUGS.
-
- I didnt say that YOU said the compiler has bugs...btw..of course it HAS
- *some* bugs (grin)....but this are not that kind so the whole language
- would be useless..and this bugs (as i heard) are fixed in the latest
- E (which i don't have)...
-
- >My dislike of E was for many reasons, syntax, compiler operation, lack of
- >decent fast CPU support, etc, etc, etc...
-
- You may be right there..i'd like more additional, fancy features also..this
- begins with support for different CPUs, optimizing, FPU-support and this
- and that and what do i know else...but this does not mean the language
- is BAD now because some feature is missing....i think you/we should
- differ between the language as such (which is great work by wouter, it
- makes sense and it's concept is great...) and how the compiler then
- works...if the compiler does (currently) not do ultrahigh-680xx-optimzed
- code..this hasn't to do anything with the language...
-
- Also i think the (positive) aspects value wide more to me than the negative
- some may find...tell me what's THE perfect language and i'll use it...
-
- >And if the E compiler is the best you've used, I have to say (no
- >disrespect to Wouter) that you haven't tried many other compilers....
-
- What ya mean ? "The compiler"...or "The language" ?! I must admit besides
- of (forced) compiling of some C-sources i have never (thank god) done much
- programming in C....that's because i do not like this much steps of linking,
- assembling and general work most C-compilers need for doin' the same what
- is just a keypress in my CygnusED ;) The EC is f***g fast..the resulting
- code is compact...(so that about the compiler)...besides of this i also
- like the language/syntax much more than for ex. C which has also
- sometimes has its very own "logic" which is not very clear to me always ;)
-
- Some nice C-example:
-
- for(s;e;u) {
- t;
- };
-
- Look at the brackets/syntax and when expressions here get
- executed how often....and explain me the logic behind that ;)
-
-
- Ok...greets
