Description: ArmBob is a RISC OS version of Bob, a small object oriented language, with a syntax resembling C++. It works by compiling the source program - which may be spread over several files - into code for a virtual machine, as an intermediate step, and then running the virtual machine emulator. Bob provides an easy introduction to object oriented programming for those already familiar with Basic or C. Bob has a garbage collected heap which enables it to provide sophisticated datatypes without the complexities of storage allocation and pointer arithmetic.
