Well said. Regardless of how many different languages we know, we'll always have a well-versed favourite; and mine is PureBasic.void wrote:I agree with your first sentence in principle but in practice I suffer from severe cognitive barriers regarding syntax-heavy languages.
Talked to Fred recently about another topic but he did give an update on its status and said, "...which is growing nicely btw". So it sounds like all is going well.spacebuddy wrote:Any news on the status of the Coco version of PB?

Oh ok, I'll do that then when a beta is releasedFred wrote:About the flag, it's not planned for now, but it should be doable via a C call
) would it be possible to have OSX standard status bar (like iTunes for instance, ie darker than the current PB Carbon ones)? )Right, best continue working through the ObjectiveC text books then. Must admit that I like ObjC, I like it a lot. A close 2nd to PB of course!Fred wrote:It's not possible to call directly objective C call as WinAPI, as it's not really calls, but messages. And the syntax doesn't fit regular API calls. The best for now is to do tiny C wrappers and use ImportC , that's how I did for the IDE and it works well.
As far as I know there is RealBasic (uses a VM) and Objective-Basic (creates Objective-C files).srod wrote:Wow, how many Basic compilers 'out there' support OSX Cocoa?
For simple message sending, things can also be done using imports.Fred wrote:That said, wilbert wrote an objectiveC wrapper for PB to do some call
