Announcing Not eXactly C (NXC), a C-like programming language for the standard NXT firmware. Not eXactly C is built into the latest NBC compiler. If the source code file has a .nxc extension, then NBC processes the code using the NXC parser before compiling the resulting NBC assembly code. NXC is the only C-like programming solution available on Win32, Mac OSX, and Linux platforms.

The latest test release of BricxCC also features additional support for the NXC language.

Some of the features already present in NXC are:

- string variables and string literals with support for concatenation.
- while, do-while, if/else, repeat, and for loop programming constructs.
- asm block statement for writing NBC code within NXC.
- Lots of API functions for drawing, reading sensors, controlling motors, button state, etc. (More are on the way)
