- C'mon guys, Amos can be as easy or as complex as you want it to
- be. I'm really tired of people saying that AMOS is just a kids language.
- Sure, it can be a good introduction to programming (just like any other
- basic language in the world can be.) I have called Amiga DOS commands
- from amos, executed foreign executables from amos, and opened a cli and
- written program output to it. I wrote a quick-and-dirty IFF to postscript
- converter, and of course a few games.
- I'm not saying that these programs will support every aspect of
- the system, but from a utilitarian point of view they work great. I
- am a little disappointed that Amos does not have full intuition support
- but its getting there.
- Every language has its ups and downs but with a little knowledge
- of assembly most of downs can be avoided.
