For the last two years or so, I have done little more than simply tinker with PB, what with one thing and another. My interest has only ever been in developing business-type applications, but have always found PB lacking the general high level tools that I required to really make a fist of things. Thus I have always drifted off to languages which are not half as fun to program with as PB etc. but would suffice in getting the job done.
But now, through the continued development of the language and this outstandingly generous community, all the necessary tools and know how are but a few clicks of the mouse away, and this is still the most enjoyable language to work with. Indeed, I am a good way through my first commercial app to be written in PB and I couldn't be happier with the progress and the fact that I really see no limits now to this language.
Sorry for the little rant, I don't normally get involved with such off topic discussions, but I simply think that everyone involved with these forums and the PB team in particular, deserve one huge pat on the old back and a few jars of the good stuff down the local watering hole. As to who's paying...
