 		 #160764 - Creativity
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Jacek Bogusz said:
For me a good programming language is the one, which is not restricting the creativity of the developer.

In that case, assembler must be "best" - as it imposes absolutely no restrictions whatsoever!

But, all too often, developer "creativity" is something that needs to be restricted - just look at how much dangerous rubbish is written in 'C' !!

The trouble is, the most powerful features tend to be the most dangerous when abused and misused - pointers are probably the prime example in 'C'.

Just like guns & sharp knives, some restrictions are necessary (or, at least, useful) to keep people safe!

               Assembler and processor size            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Is that relevant to this environment?            01/01/70 00:00

            true, but            01/01/70 00:00

            What is small?            01/01/70 00:00      
               Would that be appropriate on 805x?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  more on big/small series            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Does this approach fit 805x and other small MCU?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Already have full Linux solutions too            01/01/70 00:00      
   Yes..C and asm is the best            01/01/70 00:00      
   I prefer KEIL U2V , C programming language.            01/01/70 00:00      
      Magic with Kel C?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Makes no sense!            01/01/70 00:00
