[sdiy] Where can I get desktop synth enclosures

[James Patchell]

Theoretically, it doesn't matter what high level language you use, they all 
have the potential to generate the same machine code.  C compilers are 
generally professional tools.  Basic compilers are not.  The optimizers 
that make compiled code small and fast are more likely to be found on 
professional tools.  A lot of the code output I have seen from basic 
compilers is very poor...most likely because the people using basic are in 
general probably not expecting much.
