Nice to see a thread about Basic without people screaming "LEARN A REAL LANGUAGE!"....I started on AMOS, then Blitz2 and now use DarkBASIC and PureBASIC on my PC and proud to say I paid for all four. I just don't see why with the raw horsepower in todays computers that BASIC or some flavor there of isn't given a new chance. Both PB and DB perform very well! I am looking at playing with the Linux version of PureBASIC if I can ever find a distro I like. I really hope OS4 has / gets a simple speedy programming language too so if I decide to get a new Amiga I will be able to make some fun little apps.
