That makes two of us... Most comments seems to point out that it can be made faster the lower type languange that you have. Lets say: Assembly could be faster than C C could be faster than C++ C++ could be faster than C# There isnt anything that you cant program in C# which you also coudnt programm in assembly. And since an assembly program could be tailor made to only serve your needs this could be made to run faster, but there is also something called development time :laugh:

True. Assembly must be quicker to develop, because you have to type fewer characters.

Eiffel - now there's a name. With all the imagery of phallic, Gaulloise-smoked France, how could it not be a success? I even made it say 'Hello World'. Eventually. With a French accent of course. :laugh:

You mean the time you spend debugging when some framework/library/reflection magic does not work as expected? All that stuff saves time as long as it works and then steals it again. I prefer to worry about my own code.

Here you go.[^] Just as I always said, but I prefer a hex keyboard. Toggle switches are too slow.

Not if you use these toggle switches PDP-8/I[^], in high school we had to enter the boot program by hand. There were arguments on whether it was faster to toggle the switches as they were or to swipe across to reset before setting them.

I would say this is true 99% of the time, you can make a program as slow as a governmental office on C++, while a program written in JavaScript run circles around it. ;P

I agree with you there! See you got it working, looking good! Is that an old wire wrap tool there on the table?

Oh, sorry. That's a replica of the original, not mine. My old omputer is only a year younger, but did not need any more wire wrapping and has a hex keyboard. Here[^] you can see one like mine being made functional again. The 'mainboard' essentially is the same as the wirewrapped original, but with some improvements. The one shown there is quite similar to mine, I just never had more than 4k RAM, but at least it still works perfectly after all the years. This year I was outside a lot, trying to fly around with (model) helicopters. By now good weather at the weekend is getting more rare, so chances are good that I will have more time for working on the Elf III with 16 mb RAM and perhaps the prototype for a multi CPU Elf IV :)

I checked prices on ebay for the Elf, couldn't afford one then and can't afford one now...damn expensive! But would be fun to play with, maybe I'll develop an equivalent one using an AVR?

Only until threw Mickeysoft out the window last year. They have wasted my time once too often. If my computer were not so allergic to Linux, there would not be a single installation of Windows left.

Build one from scratch. The original cost 100$ in 1977 and that has not changed very much. Some parts, like the CDP1802 are a little harder to get, but I can help with that.

The one thing that holds me back from doing a lot of projects is PCB fabrication. I've been looking at different ways to DIY but haven't taken the leap yet. To have them made is a tad expensive but the result is a lot better than I could probably do. I tried wire wrap years ago and was terrible at it so I feel that is not a real option.

Thanks will keep that in mind if/when I get to that point.

True that. I was given a problem that was to be solved in no more than an hour. I came up with a solution inside that hour, but I hated it. It was an O(N^2) solution. I spent much more time thinking about it and came up with an O(N) solution that put it to shame. So, am I one of those problem coders because I came up with a bad solution off the top of my head? Or am I a problem coder for coming up with an elegant solution so slowly? I have very little experience with C++, all I know is the uncountable number of times programs failed because of memory leaks and they turned out to be C++ code. (I could get C# to fail with memory problems too but that was intentionally running a recursive routine over 40K times or creating an int array with 200,000,000 items.)
