ARMbob's dynamic type system starts showing some cracks when you play with floats...
i can multiply a real with an int to get a real,
but i can't add a real to an int to get a real?

it's ok as long as i have some way to force the conversion, but still, what?

last night i finally had the headspace to actually try ARMbob. did the usual "hello world" and "whats your name" programs.

im not on love but its ok. the docs are a little brief. (variables are dynamically typed but function arguements have to be the expected type and function return values arent all specified...)

ArmBob is the RISC OS port of David Betz's Bob, a C++ subset interpreter, from 1991.

Gavin Wraith did the port but let it die because he thought lua was better.

Since RISC OS continues to sputter along, he (Wraith) did a recompile for 32bit and re-released ArmBob!

I feel like I should write something in ArmBob.
