Any programming language suitable for propeller chip except Spin, C & Assembly?
How about Java and Probasic?

    Spin just took many of the basic parts of C, C++ (minus the braces) and combined them with Basic.

    As a result, Spin is easy to recognize, and provides the same Utility Value (The language has more strengths and versatility than any other language) that all the Previous Basic Stamps had.

    Javelin is Java 1.1 dialect. I've been developing a PropellerJVM version of Javelin for a while now. While PropellerJVM will never approach C,SPIN,ASM in terms of performance, it is faster than the original Javelin though and potentially can run classes/programs up to total 96KB. PropellerJVM works with any Propeller board having 64KB or more EEPROM and allows running 32KB programs.

    A thread about PropellerJVM is here http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?t=110317, but enthusiasm has stalled a bit and all the code examples have been mangled by the forum switchover. I do have a web-site dedicated to it here: www.brouhaha.com/~sdenson/PropellerJVM

    PM me or post if you're interested.

    kirashi: Firstly, welcome to the forum :D

    As you will see by the link, almost any language is possible if you have the right hardware because the prop can also emulate other older (retro) computers with additional memory. The best emulation IMHO is ZiCog or its equivalents because these can run the old CPM operating system of the 80's using a microSD/SD card as the disks. Just about every programming language (not windows based) known to man ran in some form on these old micros.
