Faster language than BASIC

Y'know, I'd like to see a new faster language than BASIC thats not either insanely complicated, confusing, and/or using reverse-polish notion. And one that'd actually work. I tried some of these, and no matter what I did, none of the programs I did worked. Even the ones they gave the sourcecode for..If anyone can tell me wheres to get such a thing, tell me plz...else i could just use BASIC and become a wizard like Kevin <worships kevin>

Assembly is a simple, straightforward and efficient language. If you want a high level language that's universal and non-bloated at the same time, you'll be waiting for eternity.

I started waiting 10,000 years ago and I still can't find one. Though they atleast have programming languages right now.

A much much faster language than Basic is Basic when you know how to do it right.

What no plug from anybody? What about those 2 languages that you can use on Casios and TIs that isnt assembly, but is faster than BASIC?

What about TIGCC?

It's been less than a day, you could still wait. Especially since it takes far longer to become a Basic guru anyway.

Yeah, I know. I actually havent programmed much for my calc since summer...i imagine i'll get back into it once the school years goes on. I need some inspiration...and some help with xLib >.< apparently you cant use it with this one getkey program i found, osgetkey...it crashes the calc when you do. And you cant use (or have) Omnicalc installed while using xLib, can you? I mean, wouldnt the real('s conflict and crash, or give errors?

xLib doesnt use real's, it uses lists stored in the Ans variable, I think.

The old[er] versions, yes, but the shiny new app version, no, it does use real, just as Omnicalc does.

Ah, I see.
Right, the language I was talking about that is cross platform is Fast RPL and also another I cant remember at the moment. They had great demos, I think I might download them.

Loki doesn't appear to like reverse polish notation (dunno why... it's simpler than anything), so FastRPL is out.

Out of curiosity, can EZASM compile pure C code? Or do you have to use BASIC and VB too? Or maybe there is a tigCC equivalent for the z80 calcs.
