- Re ;)

- I agree..."interesting" may be the right word here.
-
- But i'm not sure if it would be the right choice for writing "serious"
- apps under OS3.xx for example webbrowsers or similiar...
-
- I also guess that none of the included commands supports anything higher
- than Kick1.3 (just when i see a colorrequesters allowing me a range from
- 0-15...this is ANCIENT.....)...of course you COULD use now library-calls
- for newer functions...me thinks it may be a language for games..and maybe
- it may be the best language for someone who never programmed before
- (thats also what the doc says...)...for people like me (assem, E..C...)
- it is really very unusual and would take a lot ot "different thinking"
- concerning programming the amiga..what is not that easy...
-
- I think it would be more impressing (ok..i must admit what i read
- from the doc until now is ridiculous...this all is HUGE...)....it would seem
- more serios if it would support what one can expect today..this is vary
- screenmodes...at least (!) OS2.0+ support in the programminer-environment
- (editor...compiler...etc...) and also of course support for everything thats
- today's standard...that's AGA (also..AT LEAST ;)...esp. for games....
