Which libraries? If you're referring to C do you know that d has access to all the standard c library built in to Phobos. Phobos is extremely well rounded and other libraries exist on dsource.org
I am referring to the fact that just about every source library in existence is available in C. If ...

Recently Ive started to use D which is much more modern and shock, horror, cross platform. ;)

...and lacking in libraries, compared to C(x).

pb has no oop

Lol, I didn't have the heart to tell him seeing as he is an old uber asm coder lol!

Mmmmm! I never thought of 1,000,000++ lines of code as small. Maybe I'd better rethink my decision to convert all our systems to PB.
And I bet it's a mess with loooong obfusticated function names, etc...

Confirms my saying that only old men and hobbiests use pb!

I post on here backing kuron up because he's obviously more experienced and is right! Compressed exes are slower because they need to be uncompressed first.

It recently officially went to version 1.

I tried go but the lack of parenthesis put me off the syntax. I prefer the D language instead.

Compressed exes are slower to load purely because of the extra step of uncompressing them when executing!

Plus compressors are useless today to save a few K and they always trigger anti virus apps, so why bother?

Sorry I really couldn't think of a better title that would get my point across and look interesting enough for people to click 8)

I know I have asked how people lay out their programs in the past, but I ran into a problem that is bugging me and I wanted to see how others would handle it.

Gratz! You've just leveled up! :)

It's a good sign for your personal career and future. Good luck and welcome to the new world of boundless possibilities! ;)
Exactly!

Surely no one uses just one language for every project - do they ?
People who use BASIC do tend to try and use it for ...

Yes, SQLite is suffering wildly from their OpenSource decision. :wink:
Good grief...I only asked about the IDE and VD?
FWIW, I was only responding to the OP's question (Why not make PureBasic Open Source ?) and to Blood's vision that giving code for free to your competitors is the whole point of ...

The IDE was open-source for a while. Then some idiot used it to make an IDE for a competing BASIC. So, back to closed-source, and rightly so.

That's the whole point of open source!

I love PureBasic, but I keep getting interested in web-based apps lately. Is there something like Basic for websites? You know, so a visitor goes to my website and runs an app or game that I've written, right in the browser? What's the closest thing to Basic to do this? Thanks.
If you want to ...

Technical debt has nothing to do with a language but how maintenance and refactoring is done and the problems (usually time related) associated with it.

Ego-centric? Where? And where do i ask for OOP?

This post was answered because it was referenced in a new thread here: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=48748

As for cheap trolling it wasn't, it was mean as a light hearted nudge and wink that OOP would not even let that problem occur.
