Fantaise Software released Purebasic 2.0
PureBasic is a new "high level" programming language based on established BASIC rules. It is compatible with any other BASIC compiler, whether its for the Amiga or PC format.
Learning PureBasic is very easy! PureBasic has been created for beginner and expert alike. Compilation time is really fast. We have put a lot of effort into its realization to produce a fast, reliable and system friendly language.
The syntax is easy and the possibilities are huge with the "advanced" functions that have been added to this language like pointers, structures, procedures, dynamically linked lists and much more. For the experienced coder there are no problems gaining access to any of the legal OS structures or API objects.
PureBasic is a portable programming langage which currently work on AmigaOS (680x0 and PowerPC) and Windows computer systems. This means than a same code can be compiled natively for the both OS and use the full power of each. There is no bottlenecks like a virtual machine or a code translator, the generated code is an producing an optimized executable. The external libraries are fully written in hand optimized assembler, which produce very fast commands often much faster than C/C++ equivalent.
