Re: Meh!..Meh, Meh..RISC compiler only? really?

ARM and MIPS, both very RISC, are both nice asms to work with. PPC is not bad. Sparc left me me with a throbbing headache.

In CISC world 68k is orthogonal heaven. Z80 and 6502 are both workman like. Get things done without much fuss.

x86 makes me want to slit my wrists. x64 is almost tolerable.

Now the Transputers Occam was fun. But never really commercial. And 2900 bit-slice was great for instruction control freaks.
