+This can be part of a religious war, but when beginning programming one has to choose a language, choosing the right one can be an important.  Most of these remarks apply to other microprocessors and to other higher level languages like Basic..... ( but see remarks later on not choosing other HHL's )
 Almost all the heavy duty guys at places like the piclist.com seem to think assembler it the way to go with PICs.  I beg to differ, perhaps because I am just a hobbiest, perhaps because I have a lot of experience in high level languages and have trouble programming like it was the 1950's.  I particurlarly like BoostC for info on it see [[BoostC tiny Wiki]], for other versions of C or even other high level languages ( for which many of the arguments are similiar to the ones for C ) see the compiler section in [[PIC Links]]

		+	= Why not another High Level Language =
		+
		+	Another high level language may be a choice if you are in a special circumstance. It probabably will be better than assembler, but not better than C.
		+
		+	Not better because:
		+
		+	* Not portable across as many environments.
		+	* Not as wide a literature particurlarrly on the Web.
