extremely popular..he ..he... And what you have of that investigation,,,any real purpose? You meant why I did the investigation? Our member johnno56's post. rcbasic.freeforums.net/post/2384/thread"Perhaps... But, in the case of Basic programming, I would say it's probably a combination of lack of interest and relevance. Today's programmers are usually looking for Engines that will produce results quickly. Basic requires a lot of time and could not possibly compete with the expectations of the current generation. Basic, in it's day, was limited to available memory and disc space. Most Basic's were designed to be small enough as to not take up much space or CPU power but powerful enough to 'get the job done'. Now days, running the same Basic on modern machines means that the Basic 'can' have more features etc... But it is too little too late... The majority of programmers are now using more modern languages, creating bigger and better games, while those of us who are still using Basic can enjoy the peace and quiet of less pressure as we tinker to our heart's content... Obviously I am low on caffeine... again..." Actually, a lot of people use XOJO and B4X to develop commercial softwares for various platforms. This is obvious in their forums. |
