pbasic language is too elimentary???
its called Ease of use...i program in C too But im not spending
30 min writing 60 lines in C when i can do it in 2 min in Pbasic
and in 7 Lines...

    PBasic is an amazing language. designed specifically for the Stamp
    but it does not offer high speed loops, nor floating point math.

    A few simple asm routines added would make it less 'elementary'

    as for being elementary, I would offer the LOSA as what can be done.
