Handheld Basic ++ (HB++)

This is freaking fast basic version for palm.

Requires no runtime because it compiles to native 68k code!

IDE is pretty good too.

More convenient IMO than NSBasic.

Comparison with NSBasic 7 on m130:

NSBasic

  • 10000 additions = 2177 (22s)
  • 10000 divisions = 2361 (24s)
  • 1000 function calls = 2106 (21s)
  • 1000 db add-remove operations = 917 (9s)

HB++

  • 1000000 additions = 485 (5s)
  • 1000000 divisions = 1026 (10s)
  • 1000000 function calls = 1627 (16s)
  • 1000 db add-remove operations = 553 (5s)

There is also 2.53 latest version, but i've found no cracks for it, so it will show nag screens on compiled prc.
