Works with 5.0x. +: The only _available_ c++ package. -: cfront sometimes *gurus*!. Slow on a 68000. Rumors says Comeau Computing will have Cfront 2.1 RSN. GCC is almost ported (available). Suppose G++ follows. > 2. Prolog SBProlog: Stony-Brook prolog, +: Free, Full source in C and Prolog, 'demand'-loading of predicates. Compiler -: No Amiga-specific stuff. Amiga Prolog: Commercial (I have only a demo version yet) +: Quite fast, Graphics support, though not full library support. Edinburgh standard -: No compiler yet. I have heard of yet another, but my memory fails me. > 3. LISP AMXLisp (Amiga XLisp) +: Amiga support -: Slow? (I heard) Cambridge Lisp +: ? -: Very out of date. Go for AMXLisp if you need Lisp now. The availablility of GCC will put KCL within reach. > 4. Smalltalk None, that I know of. Perhaps someone is porting GNU Smalltalk? > 5. Eiffel (I think I'm really pushing my luck here!) Ask Bertrand Meyer (comp.lang.eiffel). An eiffel consortium has been formed. They are supposed to (among other things) design a 'free' interpreter. Join them. Then ask Meyer for permission to port their Eiffel-to-C translator to the Amiga. --------- Robin Rosenberg,
