Default Is NorthC any good?
Was digging through my PD collection and was thinking about using one of the many language/compiler packages included in the Fred Fish and 17bit collections.

Has anyone used NorthC? It sounds good on paper, but I've never written anything with it.

And BTW, is E a good language to code in?

NorthC always crashed on my A500, the Dice C compiler was more stable (for me at least). And E was great. It compiled very fast on my A500, faster than the C compilers.

Thanks. I've been looking at E source code and it looks like a relatively simple (and powerful) language.

I remember a few summers ago trying to compile something I got from Usenet with NorthC and it seemed to do something weird to the code as it compiled it. I thought it was my fault, but I guess not.

If you need a good C compiler try VBCC or the open source GCC instead.

There are some web links about E on http://www.amigau.com/ and a tutorial on E at:
