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
Leave a comment on my talk page if you have a suggestion/etc.

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, including systems most people have never even heard of.
