RE: new Casio’s fx-CG50
Thank you for flagging up C.BASIC. It looks like it would be a good option when it is properly available on the Casio Prizm platform.
The inefficiency of the stock Casio Basic interpreter running on the fx-cg50 hardware is quite remarkable. Think of dropping a 426 Hemi motor into go-kart and still posting a poorer quarter mile time than an old man on a bicycle! After all, this wee handheld device, with its spartan OS, is packing similar CPU power to a Windows 95 486 rig. Bundled Qbasic, for example, was pretty lively on such hardware. The core code of the Casio interpreter is 20 plus years old, so I guess that it could be running inside a number of abstraction layers, with bottlenecks that can thwart any amount of CPU power. |
