Why "of course"? This is rather insulting to Basic I think, and typical of C-zombies who cannot see any merit in languages they do not know. The top Basic compilers today are not the interpreters of 20 years ago as you seem to think, but I doubt you have any experience of them because of your obvious prejudice against the language. The best Basic compilers actually generate slightly *faster* code than C (and a lot faster than C++) today, and offer all the bit operations and inline assembly tools mentioned elsewhere in this thread. The *only* advantages that C has are its portability and the amount of example source code to be found - in terms of performance, C is a *second* choice, only waranted if you need the portability or if you do not feel comfortable with anything offering better performance.
