Well I'm sorta new to the Amos list. Been lurking for a couple of weeks.
I used to program in AMOS alot. I am a EE student and have seen assemble,
C, Java, pascal, ... I can say that I am nowhere fluent in any of them
anymore. I don't think I am as ood in AMOS as I was a few years ago
either.
I quickly found the limitations of the language. There was many things I
found could not be done in AMOS. After my big Hd crash I did not
reinstall it. I had a couple of nice games in developmetn using AMOS, but
with the code gone and thinking of restarting I truly am going to go with
a C. AMOS is good, but far from perfect. I can say that you can do a
whole lot more with it in a shorter amount of time and produce some good
programs. It is not the language that needs to be tested it is the
programmer. In other words, the programmer makes the difference. If the
language does everything you need in a fast an efficient manner and you
program to your potetial then it truly doesn't matter what you program in.
You make the difference, release quality software using AMOS and it ill
get the respect it deserves, but mostly you will get your respect you
deserve.
If someone knocks on your programming language, instead of trash tlking
them, show them the power of your language, and rlease some good programs
to make them take notice. They will shut up eventually or they will be
forgotten as they can't program anyway.
Just my two cents.
