For all the excellent hobbiest languages out there (everything bar c++) I am constantly frustrated by the author's lack of direction and sensible priorities. ie) we must ensure compatiblity with X minority computer system - hello? Windows PC/DirectX is paramount - stop wasting your time!
I think perhaps I should quit moaning and produce a language of my own. I'll only have myself to blame for the lack of progress and lack of direction (however big the challenge).
Respect to the guys that have produced such languages - but I feel that they really need to wake-up to the fact that there is one huge user base and program for that - end of story. If they do then I guess I have some serious competition, but I feel helpless when relying on others to make good decisions.
On a closing note and thanks to Mark Sibly for re-introducing me to programming, has anybody got any suggestions for a language name based around game production?
Many thanks,
Steve
