BCPL = Basic Complete Programming Language..!? (I think!).
BCPL is a totally portable structured language. It is so portable that it
doesn't even have floating point variables, or in fact ANY typing! BCPL has
one method of storage; The BCPL Word. (Those awful pointers that you have to
asr #2 before use!) On a 68020 with barrel shifting, BCPL will really fly!
I'm not defending BCPL at all. In fact, I'd much prefer MetaComco to use
machine code !
Unfortunately, the portability hit the Amiga between the eyes. Guys who have
been disassembling the code are appalled– no optimization at all. Really
sucks rocks. And the guys that are complaining about disk wear from CP
schemes oughtta think about a disk scheme that splatters files all over the
disk (built-in continuous seek exerciser). Fooooo. -Larry-
