Type: High level programming language

AmigaE is a modern, fast and economic high level programming language. Its syntax and commands are very similar to these from the most popular nowadays C language but AmigaE is simplier and quicker to learn, owing to variety of built-in and ready-to-use functions and possibility of attaching includes. The compiler archive contains many tools, includes, extensive programming Guide and demonstration sources for the 3.x version of AmigaOS.

AmigaE is so easy to learn that even without includes you should be able to open a screen, a window, print a text on the screen or make complicated calculations after some practice; for example "Hello World!" program can be written in three lines of code! All executables are 100% system compatible which allows "clean" and safe programming. The compiler does not, of course, forbid "wild" hardware hacks if you would like it. There is a linker built-in the compiler, as well as an assembler. It makes assembling all the program parts into a binary very easy as it is possible to insert assebler code into a AmigaE source and all the parts can exchange data and variables without any problems. You can even write in pure assebler and the compiler will have no claims.

Binaries compiled with AmigaE are really small and fast, almost like assembler code. Default "Hello World!" program after compilation has only 676 bytes! Although there is no text editor included in the archive, you can use any, e.g. CED which can compile sources and run binaries through AREXX with one key touch!

AmigaE code can be object oriented and can include procedures, variables lists and other similar high level language stuff. The compiler runs on every Amiga configuration with remarkable speed: 20000+ lines of code per minute on an unaccelerated A500. AmigaE was created as a language for system-friendly utilities but the only limitation of it is your creativity!

Free AmigaE version contains a demo of compiler which can generate only 8kB long binaries - there are no other limitations. However, the author gives a two-week evaluation period.

Many ready-to-use procedures and additional includes are available on Aminet (directory dev/e). A useful for E programmers "AmigaE Encyclopedia" can be found on WWW: AmigaE Encyclopedia
