About Not Quite C
Not Quite C (NQC) was created in 1998 by David Baum. It was developed to provide a more powerful and flexible programming environment for the LEGO Mindstorms RCX programmable brick, which originally used a more limited graphical programming interface. NQC allowed users to write text-based code that offered greater control over the robot's behavior and functionality.
Strengths of Not Quite C included its simplicity, ease of learning for beginners, and greater control over LEGO Mindstorms robots compared to the original graphical interface. Weaknesses included limited advanced features and a smaller community compared to more widely-used programming languages. Competitors included RobotC, LeJOS (Java), and NBC (Next Byte Codes).
