Number confusion

[tda0626]

I got introduced to programming with the Commodore 64. The manual showed you how to program in BASIC but I did not stick with it though and wish I did.

I've said it before and I'll say (write) it again:
64-bit programming for me and I think it's safe to say a lot of the other coders around here is total overkill. Completely unnecessary and not worth the additional headaches and hassles.

I exempt the few professionals here who depend on 64-bit coding for their livelihood or for special programming needs (huge datasets, etc.). But for the rest of us, it's just not needed.

Hell, even 32-bit is overkill for a lot of the stuff I do (and I imagine what others here code). Sometimes a little-bitty 8-bit µprocessor is all that's needed to do the job.

Its more worth it with 128+ bit SIMD to make things go faster,much code before worked on on!y 8 bit or 16 bit,worth investigation, because 8 bit code ported to 128 bit SIMD run faster than 32 bit code ported to 128 bit only 4 times faster

Magnus, SIMD would be even more overkill for the programming I do. No thanks.

That's my kind of fun,others like gp register code,others fpu,others like opengl /d3d code,others like make masmbasic or their own assembler ...
