Hiltor's
Com monts
I talked a little bit last time about possible
futures for RISC OS and the associated
machines. It's strange perhaps to refer to it
that way but realistically what we all
consider to be RISC OS isn't really RISC
OS at all, its an easy to use Graphical User
Interface and a set of code modules with a
nice easy application interface.
The fact is that you can have RISC OS
running on a completely non-ARM machine
and it's still RISC OS as far as you're
concerned. You can't embarrassed about it
being an Intel machine because we've been
running on Intel-manufactured chips for
years. You could get precious about it
running on a Pentium of some variety or
another but that really isn't the thing.
The thing we object to is the total
dominance of Windows and the
brainwashing of the populace into thinking
that Windows is the only fruit. When in fact
there are at least three other options for
desktop machines,
But I digress. In this issue we are looking at
the enhancements to BBC BASIC that have
been made for the lyonix. Arguably only
some of them are necessary, I imagine
some behind the scenes work has been
necessary (beyond just making it 32-bit
compatible). Some of the enhancements
are handy from the programmer viewpoint.
But what programmer is going to use the
new features? None, unless the program
being written will only work on the lyonix.
What should happen is that the language
should be made available to anyone for
download whether that's done through
Castle or RISCOS Ltd is largely irrelevant,
that it should be done is important.
BBC BASIC makes a wonderful fast
prototyping tool for RISC OS-based
software. Actually it makes a very good
application language full stop. If Castle
want to sell RISC OS-based systems to
third parties then having an easy to use
application language is very important.
And that language should be BBC BASIC, it
could do with more work and some rather
more dramatic enhancements but it could
be the bees-knees. Letting it stagnate, and
not even making it generally available does
not make sound commercial sense.
