and scientists that I know tend to do their prototyping in BASIC, and
then hand it off to programmers to optimize for size and speed in
whatever language is best suited to the app. BASIC can do anything
other langauges can, just not as fast or compact. And BASIC is very
readable and easy to debug.
I seldom code in C tho I know it is faster blah blah. The 'speed'
issue tends to dissipate when we are using ever-more-powerful
processors, and what's a few nanoseconds between friends, anyway? ;)
