Hi guys,
sorry to drag this topic up again, but I was reading this on another forum, and figured it was an example of what I was talking about:

Webmaster,

many thanks. That was a very interesting read. I am pleased to know that other people are already thinking about this problem, and actively tackling it. Really, that is all I wanted...

Aah, the old "RTFM". In this case, the manual is more than 400 pages long. I'd be pretty impressed with anyone who could answer any such question I had about the language.

As I explained in my original post, this shouldn't be a problem. The compiler should be unobtrusive and polite, like syntax colouring. The code could be coloured to point out syntax errors etc as you...

Hi all,

I had a thought. What does anyone think?

It would be great to have an IDE which could compile your C program *as you type*.

Think about it, the compilation process for a single...
