programming languages (which one do you use and why)

damagedcells

I've been learning SPIN for the last week and really like the language.
I do not have programming experience in C or other languages (except Basic and COBOL) but I keep hearing that SPIN is slow and other things.
I know a lot of people like to program in ASM (I am not sadistic enough to make myself learn ASM)
And there is a PropBasic available, I just don't hear much about that.

Question:
In what other languages can the Prop be programmed?

What benefits does the language provide?



And, secondly-
Will the Prop2 use SPIN or will there be another language of choice for that one?

Triplicate post!

Damagedcells,

I was hoping to get an answer to that question recently with a poll. http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?128915-What-language-are-you-using-in-your-current-major-Prop-project

I would say having a look at PASM might be worth while. It's about the easiest assembler language I have ever seen.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

Thanks for the constructive reply Heater, I'll look at the poll you listed. Is PASM the same thing as Parrot ASM (that is what I found when I did a Google search). Or is it Propeller ASM or maybe Parallax ASM.

PASM = Propeller ASM, and it (with some modifications) will be the assembly language of the Prop II.
