 | | Ada on NXT
|
|
On the RCX there was an Ada implementation, which worked by translating Ada to NQC. Does anyone know if there are any plans to make Ada available on NXT, perhaps in a similar manner? Thanks Andrew (19 years ago, 7-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics)

This is in reply to the post by John Hansen on Wednesday, November 01. It's difficult to compare the end user value of an assembler language programming environment (NBC) vs a high level C programming language like Robot C. There are several (...) (19 years ago, 6-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics)
