What kind of ambiguity do you have in mind? Again: I'm not advocating for anything resembling the full Python that exists today. That is possibly even too much for an Amiga, and famously a non-goal of Python is to be fast. They handsomely non-reach that goal. After programming in C, PHP and Javascr...

If you need more speed, the first step would be to simply run the 65C02 at its maximum clock rate of 14 MHz... And with only 4000 transistors, I'm sure the 6502 can be implemented at significantly higher speeds on an FPGA. But at what point is the thing so fast that it's no longer an 8-bit computer...

Dead end as in: it has no living descendants. (At least not as far as I know / recognize.) Obviously you can learn programming in BASIC, as I did myself many moons ago. But structure in BASIC is write-only: perhaps you used GOTOs the most structured way possible. But someone reading the code won't ...

The problem with BASIC is that it is an evolutionary dead end as programming languages go. And BASIC v2 is not even very far down that dead end, it's extremely limited and forces the use of very poor programming habits. Now, in the interest of shipping the product as well as having some compatibili...

Well, unless this project will end up a huge failure, there will be a second version/revision, so a border option can be added then.

But if feature request aren't going to be considered anyway, why not close this part of the forum for the time being?

From my first post I asked for a border option. And yet I find people coming out and saying an option they don't have to use is a bad thing.

Flashing a custom firmware is unlikely to be a good solution because it will very likely cause incompatibilities with other software.

The point is not to select the option that looks best to 51% of people, but to have the option to adjust the way things look.

I really don't understand all the pushback. Having the text start the second pixel from the physical edge of the screen just looks terrible.
