- Compiling speed, yes. Developing (typing in) speed, no!
-
- I expect the computer to do as much work as possible, when I use
- a serious compiler, not that I should do all the work.
-
- Furthermore, I use the Modula-2 notation to dub my variables, ie.
- the first letter of every word in a variable is capitalized
- (MyWindow, WordCount, JustForFun, etc.) I think, E's case-
- sensitivity is a serve restriction.
-
- Having said this, I think that E is looking good.
