• Features when comparing with C/C++:
  
  • multiple return values (8 for m68k (integers and floats), about 25 for ppc integers and 32 for ppc floats)
  • lists can be defined/used everywhere you like/need, not on the definition only
  • more readable syntax :)
  • binary modules
  • much faster
  • requires less memory
  • currently not so improved oo
  
  
  
• Features when comparing with AmigaE:
  
  • more return values
  • more operators (like >>, <<, >|, <|, etc)
  • more assign operators (like +=, *=, etc)
  • more intelligent equation computing (PowerD: 1+2*3=7, AmigaE: 1+2*3=9)
  • changable introduction of precedence
  • names can contain high/low letters in all cases
  • for object oriented programming you don't have to use self.#?, you can use only #?
  • better polymorphism
  • more types (FLOAT, DOUBLE, BOOL, etc.)
  • fpu using
  • compilation to object files
  • automatic generation of external modules
  • linked library functions using
  • inline lists (OpenWindowTags/OpenWindowTagList)
  • IFN, WHILEN, ... for reverse condition (IF a<>10 is the same as IFN a=10)
  • constants and variables can be declared everywhere you like
  • slower
