I am looking for a number of languages for the Amiga, either PD or commercial or other. If anyone knows if these are available, and where I could find them, I'd greatly appreciate the information! 1. C++ 2. Prolog 3. LISP 4. Smalltalk 5. Eiffel (I think I'm really pushing my luck here!) Thanks, -Al papp@remus.rutgers.edu --

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 -: Very out of date.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, <rosenber@ra.abo.fi>

I've heard about a translator (producing SAS C-code) from Comeau. SAS own C++ is (I think) only C++ 1.2. Maybe GNU g++ will be ported in the near future? -2. Prolog Stony Brook (sp?) Prolog on two Fish disks. -3. LISP -4. Smalltalk -5. Eiffel (I think I'm really pushing my luck here!) Try giving an A3000 to a guy here at work (Enea Data). He's currently proting Eiffel to different platforms, and if he had an Amiga I'm sure he couldn't resist the challenge! :-) I think that a real object-oriented language like Eiffel would be perfect for Amiga (and ofcourse any other GUI-machine). The development of programs could be significately shortened if you have well-done libraries with objects like windows, scroll-bars ... - -Thanks, --Al - -papp@remus.rutgers.edu ---

Note this is the Smalltalk *language*, not the Smalltalk-80 system. But it's free. And comes with source. -- --Bill Kinnersley
