If you want to program for the Amiga, you will find quite a few options. BASIC doesn't necessarily sound like the first and best alternative, but AmiBlitz3 is definitely worth more than just a first look. 👀

Maintained by the AmiBlitz community for many years, it is compatible with all AmigaOS3.x versions, is actually a descendant of Acidsoft's BlitzBasic, and comes with a comfortable IDE, an instruction browser (think IntelliSense), and an everything but insignificant library of prebuilt functions.

The BASIC dialect takes a little getting used to. But the speed at which you can achieve presentable results on the Amiga is surprising.

You spend a lot of time with your girlfriend? Then this might be something for you.
