I remember trying to use a C compiler on my Amiga but IIRC it was such a pain to use with only one floppy drive and no hard drive (and 512KB RAM). My mom wouldn't buy me a second floppy drive (let alone a hard drive) because she thought this computer thing was just a toy, so I switched using assembly. Programming the Amiga with a good macro assembler was actually a surprisingly good experience. The official documentation of the various system libraries was clearly explained in terms of the underlying ABI, almost as if it was expected for people to reach out to assembly to write applications.
