What happened to PB on Tsoding?

I enjoy watching the Youtube channel 'Tsoding Daily' with the very talented Russian programmer, Thomas. But he had a very difficult time getting PureBasic to work on Linux. So he turned to FreeBASIC based on one of viewers suggestion and it went well. I wonder what happened.

Re: Should PureBasic become my main development system?

Yes, Yogi. I played with it some. It appears well integrated with Visual Code. There's also RadBasic which is supposedly 100% compatible with VB6 projects. But it also unfortunately appears to have a subscription (Patreon) model as well.

Re: Has anyone heard of SKIA from Google?

Yes, Yogi. I watched a Delphi video about Skia over the Summer. Embarcadero is fortunate that two brothers created an opensource port called Skia4Delphi . SkIa does look very snazzy along with Lottie(animated SVG's). It does appear the libraries use Namespaces and Classes and appears to be written ...

Re: What is best... define.s variable or define variable.s

Code: Select all

Define$
appears to function the same as

Re: Linear Programmer looking for a clue

It looks like the Discord link has expired. And I can't seem to find PureBasic in Discord when doing a search. Thanks in advance for an invite. :D
