RCX Programming options
I would have to agree that NQC is most definitely the best mindstorms programming language for most people. While using the same firmware as the GUI Lego language uses limits NQC's power, NQC allows the programmer to get at many features that are otherwise not accessable to RCX code.
If NQC is still not good enough you can always use:
-LegOS, is based of C/C++ and is probably the most compact language, as it runs directly on the RCX processor. However, it is also EXTREMELY difficult to setup/use/compile, from what I've heard.
-pbFORTH, great if you want to program in FORTH...
-LegJOS, a version of Java to run on the RCX. It really is object oriented, and has built in trig/higher math functions. Wish the same could be said for JavaME...
-There is also a way to program the RCX in Visually Basic. But that's just sick.
