This forum is dead, but if anyone wants to answer is it a decent language or would I be better of with a ROM basic
Dead? I recently counted over 40 posts in one day. The
Yahoo 6502ag forum is
dead—pretty much destroyed by spammers quite a few years ago, and they left such a bad taste in everyone's mouth that it never bounced back. That one will go sometimes
months between posts. I have been determined that spammers won't get
this forum, and at the peak of the spammer problem, I was kicking out over 20 per day and removing their garbage immediately. I don't have anything charming to say about spammers—to put it mildly. It took a lot of my time to stay on top of it; but we did not succumb to them. Now Mike has made it so someone has to really want to be here to get in—ie, it's not the easiest, and it's too bad it has to be that way—but we almost never get the idiots who want to sell their handbags, trinkets, porn, or other junk anymore—only people who come for the right reasons.
I have not used EhBASIC myself, but looked it over several years back and was impressed at the many good features it had that weren't in BASICs like what was on early home computers. Hopefully its writer, Lee Davidson, or others who have used EhBASIC, will check in soon and give more info, but I suspect you could put it in ROM if you wanted to. From what I've seen, it is indeed a very good BASIC!
