I still remember my first steps with C on my Amiga, after years of BASIC. I opted for the Dice compiler because Lattice was too expensive. At that time the norm was to send the money via mail and receive floppy disks in exchange via the same means. By pure chance, the Dice distributor in my country lived in my city and we could close the deal in person, in a parking lot like smugglers or pushers!
- robinsonb5 2y agoDice was very nice - and later on vbcc was pretty cool, too. In fact vbcc is so nice I used it for a toy CPU project a couple of years ago, because its backend interface is unusually well-documented and accessible. (I think tangling with either gcc or llvm would likely have added another six months to the project.)
