Hi everyone.

I'd like to learn to code on the Amiga, but I have no idea where to start, what language to choose.

I never really advanced too far beyond Basic on the Vic 20 and on the Atari 400.

I'd like to learn how to code system legal tools for the Amiga that work on any Amiga in Workbench, although if push comes to shove I do prefer Workbench 2 onwards (and that's what I've got).

So, should I learn C? Amos? Blitz?

My understanding is that Amos isn't great for system legal stuff, or am I wrong there?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
