[[File:Eriksiers avatar.jpg|right|thumb|Don't I look happy?]]
Somewhat obviously, my name is Erik Siers. I'm one of the [[:Category:BASIC|BASIC]] cheerleaders on RC. (I can do other languages, but I prefer BASIC by a lot.) I'

I've been improving my C and C++ lately. A new client was actually looking for someone with my exact skillset (fluent in BASIC, decent enough in C/C++) and I've had to "get good".
I'm still looking for suggestions/recommendations for a development system that supports both Android and iOS, hopefully with a RAD IDE. (RAD is optional but strongly preferred.) The only language I have and am comfortable using is '''extremely''' game-oriented and always uses 3D space, even if you don't need it, and I'm working on an app where that's a deal breaker. I'm open to literally anything, preferably free (open source optional). Development can happen on [[Windows]], [[Linux]], or x86 (32-bit) [[MacOS|Mac]]. (I no longer have the x64 Macbook.) I would use [[Xojo]], which fits the bill, but the price is a bit more than I'm ready to pay at the moment.
Leave a comment on my talk page if you have a suggestion/etc.

Line 44 ⟶ 39:
I use a lot of OS's, depending on which physical system we're talking about...
My
*[[wp:Windows 10|Windows 10]], for now. Considering my options. Work happens in various systems under emulation.
My
*[[wp:Slackware|Slackware Linux]] v15.
My laptop:
*[[wp:Windows 10|Windows 10]]. It's [[wp:Windows 11|Windows 11]]-capable, but I don't care to go there.
My iMac:
*[[wp:Mac OS X Snow Leopard|Mac OS X Snow Leopard]]. Seriously.
My G4 Mac:
*[[wp:Mac OS X Leopard|Mac OS X Leopard]]/[[wp:Mac OS X Tiger|Mac OS X Tiger]]/[[wp:Mac OS 9|Mac OS 9]]
**Thinking about adding [[wp:MorphOS|MorphOS]] to the mix, just cuz.
My ThinkPad:
*[[wp:eComStation|eComStation]] v2. Yes, I'm seriously running [[OS/2]].
**[[wp:FreeDOS|FreeDOS]] and [[wp:Salix Linux|Salix Linux]] also installed, but eCS is what I mostly use.
It's funny that I own <s>so many</s> Macs, since I consider pre-X Macs to be overpriced toys, but since modern macOS is built on top of a *nix system... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I also toy around with numerous other operating systems under emulation. If it's freely available, I probably have it installed.▼

Line 55 ⟶ 62:
Unless otherwise specifically indicated, I disclaim any rights I might have to any code that I have posted to Rosetta Code, and assign any appropriate copyright to [[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]]. (Everything posted to RC is automatically covered by the GNU FDL anyway.) This specifically applies to code that '''''I''''' have posted. ''Other people's'' code that I have made changes to belongs to ''them'', not me, and I disclaim any rights I might have to those changes. (See [[Rosetta Code:Copyrights]] for RC's copyright policy.)
▲So far, I've only created a single task, [[Sorting algorithms/Pancake sort]].
===REALbasic===
It should be noted that all [[:Category:REALbasic|REALbasic]] examples that I've written (which can be found by looking through [[Special:Contributions/Eriksiers|my user contributions page]]) were written in REALbasic 5.5.5, which is several years old. (For comparison, this might be considered somewhat akin to writing in [[wp:
