which language should i use to program a utility for workbench
i have coding experience, but only with modern languages.
Which is the best option to build an app to run in workbench. Preferably where using the tcp/ip stack is easy accessible. |

Rust. You should use Rust. It protects developers so much from all their mistakes. It will protect you from the mistake of writing a utility for workbench by virtue of the fact it doesn't support 68K in the first place and even it did, the syntax is is so eye-stabbingly awful you'll either go over the precipice and become an advocate or run away forever.

I - of course - have to suggest AmiBlitz3, as it offers helpful IDE.
You can do simple window applications very fast and make use of standard amiga libraries as you would do in C or E. Gesendet von meinem SM-S901B mit Tapatalk |

I've not tried Rust, but have you tried Swift? I hated it at first with it's attempts to catch every possible error, but now I love it. A lot of these new languages with their error traps remind me of ZX Spectrum basic where it would not allow you to enter a line if it found an issue. It does make sense once you get back in to that mindset. Not sure why they ever abandoned it tbh. |

I know this is just trolling but I'm happy to say that maybe you're not /that/ far from the truth. m68k is now a "Tier 3" target in Rust (basically it means no official support, just that someone is willing to pour some personal effort to try to make it work): https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/plat...linux-gnu.html Related project: POC in Rust for the Sega Genesis / MegaDrive: https://github.com/ricky26/rust-mega-drive Last edited by jman; 08 September 2022 at 10:26. |
