A little while ago I asked the net what languages were available
for Amiga - also what Version was there and if it was still being
sold/supported, etc.  Here are some results - if anyone can 
"fill in the blanks" - feel free, just repost so the rest of us
can check it out...

These headings should seem obvious, tho' General is the general
feeling about that particular compiler/interpeter (as suggested
by you, the users), this is not to start a flame war about who's 
compiler is "better" - just does it support "stand language 
syntax" with a minor amount of bugs... (BTW - "commercial" means 
"I don't know who does it")
