#114283 - Speed is relative..... Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Russell Bull said:
suggesting that Basic is slow suggests you've never heard of a basic compiler. There's lots of people using Basic Stamps out there and they use an interpreter - it must be fast enough for them! Using a compiler speeds thing up considerably - whilst I don't use bascom, I dare say most of the code it produces would be reasonably speedy. Again, speed is relative....
I agree with you that Basic or for that matter, any compiler is faster than assembler in terms of the time to deliver the goods. It speeds the development process. This is not necessarily true for the code it produces though. A quote I remember vaguely says "Programming using Assembler is akin to a Race Car Driver driving a race car; and programming using a compiler is akin to an ordinary car driver driving a race car" Jerson |
