easy free compiler language

[whackaxe]

could somoen suggest a free, compiling, easy (not C++, this has to be quick) language? something like VB maybe but absolutly free (ie freeware or under gnu gpl)

I assume that you mean a compiled language that is a RAD,so I would suggest Kylix.

Assembly. Grrrr. :D

Java is also free.

Lol.Officially an Assembler is used for Assembly (not a compiler).

Java? C# (.NET Framework is free, and comes with a C# compiler)? Why not C++?

If you are willing to use scripting languages, you can have some great stuff, like Ruby and Python for example. If you were a masochist who likes bad languages, Perl is always a choice too.

I wouldn't wish Assembly language on anyone. My university though thought it was a good idea to torture us with a semester of it.

Delphi is a modern (OO,GUI etc.) version of Pascal.Kylix is just the Linux/GNU version of Delphi.
