I don't think it's our business to discuss how to market or market a product,
that we didn't create ourselves.
I don't agree. This is the only one remaining software I've purchased with "free updates for life." Every other one I've purchased has gone belly-up, or abandoned updates. And no, I would not say that pb was the best of all of the software.
IMHO I think it is solely Fantasy Software's determination how to market its products, and I recognize there is more than one way to do so. In addition IMHO individuals are free to donate funds (which I highly encourage if one is able to do so) as a goodwill offering or as a desire to speed or help development but they should be not feel compelled to do so or shamed for not doing so.
@Tenaja: I did want to share that I purchased life time updates for a text editor for a one-time fee based on the excellent experience I've had with my purchase of a use license for PureBasic 16 years ago and counting. The other software I had been forced to pay upgrade or an entirely new purchase price every 4 or 5 years whenever it's tally of improvements reached a big enough difference that I didn't want to be without the new features. When a life time of updates was finally made possible it was an easy decision based on my respect for the software and my experience with PureBasic. Like PureBasic, this other software included continuous updates for a variety of things of various levels of usefulness. It's nice to know that you can always have the most up-to-date version without having to continuously check your bank account. I think PureBasic's success and longevity thus far been at least in part due to this early decision by Fred.

@jack,
Thank you for your comment.
Looks like I don't know what I am doing!
I'll try again.
I take no offence as there was none given. I only offer my thanks.

There is no point in doing that because you can only get unsafe rust code. But, if you really want that, you can do it already. Get c code with /commented flag and then run it through c to rust transpiler (for example https://c2rust.com/).
