Yes, it's been around for some years now

Yes.

Only disadvantage: it does IMHO not compile to binary. Needs an interpreter, but looks good.
Newer versions support GTk and Qt.

Maybe it's usefull:

Yes.

I talked to it's developper (he is french like Fred ^_^) a few years ago and i tell him my todo list, Gambas evolved in a good way, this is a good alternative

Yes it is

I wouldn't put that in my mouth even if Fred would give me the source code of PureBasic for Linux

Well okay, I think I might reconsider it

I hate seafood but a friend cooked me them (he is a professional cooker) and didn't tell me that i eat gambas : it was very good

I will only eat Fried Shrimp. My wife boils them and sucks out the brains as she eats them.

My policy on eating brains is: Never eat the brains of anything stupid enough to be dinner... I am unanimous in that!

I love prawns...

. I don't understand how some of you can think it tastes bad. Ok, they look a bit like spiders or such, but you don't eat the legs if you don't want to.

Man, right now i'd kill for a plate of cooked prawns in garlic butter.!!!

I don't even eat prawn flavour crisps! Just don't like the taste.
