Out of curiosity
What other program language, does AmigaOS need.

A Pancake Stack Machine.
I voted for Fortran and would like to see Cobol added.
I am not for sure about the others, Python, Ruby, Perl.

@NutsAboutAmiga

It's already got C and Python (The Dynamic Duo), so I'm going with @Trekiej's suggestion: The Pancake Stack Machine.

I'm glad to see the Amiga community isn't stuck in the "rewriting everything in Rust will fix everything" mindset.

---

Caveat: I have the suspicion that Python support could be better -- is it Python 2, or Python 3?

---

Update: It seems like I've inadvertently gamed the poll.

I voted for Rust but not because it's a better system language. Rather all of the tools for implementing WebAssembly outside the browser are written in Rust. Wasmer, Cranelift and WAPM (WebAssembly Package Manager) are all written in Rust as far as I know.

Python 2.x is essentially deprecated. We really need Python 3.4+. It's one of the top 5 languages out there and has been for some time.

AmigaOS needs no new language but in my opinion: Python 3 and a consolidated gcc 8.

Languages need OSes, not the other way around.
And who needs the rotten mess that is AmigaOS (4) and its 29 users?

In some cases, the language _is_ the OS (and the other way around) :)

Brainfuck was already done by another dev back in 1993.

Python is already provided with AmigaOS4.1, its used by OS installer if I’m not mistaken.

While I'm sure you already know this but Brainfuck (wikipedia), was originally written for the Amiga in 1993 by none other than our own Urban Müller (the Father of Aminet). Maybe we could launch a Kickstarter to have him update the source for OS4.1. LOL

Availability of sources matters VERY little because 2.5 supplied with OS4 should be considered ancient.
