Which alternative Programing Language do you suggest ?

[Ray.R]

Yes it is.. 🙂

What is wrong with the size? 

Oh... the microsuff syndrom... The bigger the better..  Well.. that's false!

Many of the programming languages were much smaller then 10 MB.  I remember SmallTalk, APL, Turbo-C, all smaller then 2 or 3 MB.  Even the early Java..   🙂

So, yes, it's free (read the license) and it's 10MB 😄

Or the one thats paying the most Money! 🙂 - Depending on how you look at it

I came from an electronics background and most text languages I have come across are all hardware related...Verilog for example.

Texas instruments and Atmel (I think) done some quite cool USB stick dev kits, including their IDE for about £20.

It is quite improper to say that a programming language IS n MBytes.... Maybe you're talking about the compiler/IDE/libraries....?

About C/C++, you have to consider that if you do some embedded hardware, if you'll deal with microcontrollers (both 8 bits and 32 bits), you'll have to learn C/C++.  Many tools are for these languages.  Of course, if you develop web applications, java, PHP will be a choice....

I like Atmel micros, and there you find a great IDE for C and AVR 8 bit micros (for AVR32 it's C/C++, but it's quite new....).

Another thing to consider, is what hardware/software do you use on your PC.  Some vendors provide C APIs for theyr products. Microsoft Windows SDK is for C, to say one...

I know C for microcontrollers. AVR 8bit is what i use too !

So the best choice whould be Visual C++ , i think.

Well, I prefer to call it "open source" which is not the same thing as "freeware" 🙂
