I hate to throw this out there, but I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science; soon to be a Master's degree. Please trust my judgement on this: don't make frameworks in Petit Computer if you're going for performance. If you're only going for ease of use, then frameworks are fine. Also, please don't spend so much time worrying about squeezing every ounce of performance out of your program. You'll spend far too much time trying to get the tiniest improvement, and it just won't be worth it. Petit Computer was made so that beginners could learn how to program, and so that veterans could get back into their BASIC hobbies. It wasn't made to perform programming miracles, and it wasn't created as a professional programming development environment (which many of you guys seem to forget). Just have fun with it, but don't go all crazy. If you're really interested in computing, you really should try out something else. For instance, you could start with C, C++, Java, Python, C#, PHP, Flash... the list goes on and on. Petit Computer is really just for tinkering. Think of other languages as cars, vans, and trucks. These vehicles (languages) can be used to transport goods and people, and have many uses. Well, Petit Computer is a motorcycle. It's fun, but it's not practical.
