When the AMOS compiler is released (expect a few months more) You will
have a fast compiled Basic. Until then AMOS is a fast interpreted Basic.
Otherwise I think You better learn C (it's not hard when You know Pascal,
I am sometimes teacher at C and Unix courses, so I know). C is THE
language on Amiga.
