The short answer to this question is “No – you’ve got to use assembly”. The slightly longer answer would be “Wait a bit – people are working on things. You don’t know what may appear”. There are people working on a C compiler that can produce VM code (although I don’t know the current status of this project) and I’m sure, with time, people will create compilers for other languages too. However till then you’ll either have to wait, learn to program in assembly, or write a compiler for the language yourself! STOP PRESS: There is now a compiled language available called LIME, which is similar to basic. It is in early stages, and doesn’t work too well on Windows at the moment, but is worth a look! You can find out more information on the LIME homepage – Answer by Richard Munn, 19th February 2000, Updated 24th May 2000. Back to the top..
